Micro-multiport extrusion tube (MPE Tube)

The Multi-Port Extrusion Tube (MPE Tube), also called Acer micro channel aluminum flat tube;micro-channel tube, is a highly refined quality product characterized by the following properties:

● Low energy costs

● High performance

● Low space and weight

● High corrosion and pressure resistance

● High recycling value

● Pressure drop and silent solution

● Low refrigerant fill

Beside increased global performances, an all-aluminum brazed heat exchanger using MPE will also present better corrosion resistance. MPEs are primarily used for the following applications:

● Condensers

● Evaporators

● Heater cores

Micro-multiport extrusion tube

Micro-multiport extrusion tube (MPE tube) is mainly used for the production of heat exchangers. Due to its high corrosion-resistance & good heat conductivity, MPE tube is particularly well suited for the use in evaporators & condensers with refrigerant R134-A. It is the trend to use new refrigerant R744 (CO2) in future, MPE tube is required increased burst strength and better heat conductivity for an optimized product size. To meet the market requirement, APALT developed zinc-coated & flux coated MPE tubes, it can be supplied in coils, or fixed length by non-cutting separation method.

What is tube sheet layout?

What is tube sheet layout? A tube sheet is a component used in shell and tube heat exchangers and other types of heat transfer equipment. It is a flat plate with holes drilled in it, through which tubes are inserted and secured. The tube sheet serves as a barrier between the two fluids, allowing heat to be transferred from one to the other. The layout of the tube sheet depends on the design of the heat exchanger, which includes the number of tubes, the size of the tubes, and the spacing between the tubes. The layout is typically determined using computer-aided design (CAD) software, which can optimize the placement of the tubes to achieve the desired heat transfer performance. In general, the tubes are arranged in a triangular or square pattern on the tube sheet. The triangular pattern is often preferred because it provides better support for the tubes and reduces the risk of vibration and damage. The spacing between the tubes is also important, as it affects the flow rate and pressure

1. What is a finned tube bundle? Finned tube bundle composed of multiple finned tubes arranged according to certain rules is called finned tube bundle. A finned tube heat exchanger can be composed of one or more finned tube bundles. 2. What is the composition of the finned tube bundle? Finned tube (multiple tubes): basic element of heat transfer. Tube box (header) or tube plate: the header, elbow or steel plate connecting the two ends of the fin tube. When the finned tube is connected with the header or tube sheet, the spacing between the finned tubes is fixed, and the tube box forms a continuous flow channel for the fluid in the tube. Frame: support and fix the whole finned tube bundle. 3. Finned tube bundle arrangement? In a  finned tubes bundle , the selection of fin tube arrangement is crucial. There are two types of arrangement: staggered and sequential. The so-called staggered arrangement refers to the cross arrangement of pipes in the air flow direction, while the in-line arran

What is aluminum finned tubes?

What is aluminum finned tubes? Aluminum finned tubes are a type of finned tube air heat exchanger that uses aluminum fins attached to a tube made of a different material, such as copper or steel. The aluminum fins are typically extruded or formed to increase the surface area of the tube, which in turn increases the efficiency of heat transfer. Aluminum finned tubes are commonly used in HVAC systems, as well as in industrial and power plant applications. They are preferred over other types of finned tubes in some applications because they are lightweight, corrosion-resistant, and have good thermal conductivity. Additionally, aluminum is relatively inexpensive compared to other metals commonly used in heat exchangers, such as copper and stainless steel. The specific properties of aluminum finned tubes can vary depending on the alloy used to make the fins. For example, aluminum fins made from alloys such as 6061 and 3003 have good corrosion resistance and thermal conductivity, while those
