Customized H-Type Finned Tube

H finned tubes are produced as single or double tubes according to customer specifications. They are especially suitable for dusty flue gases, e.g. economizers in:Biomass plants, Coal fired units, Oil fired units, Waste to energy plants. H fin tube is used to recover the gas waste heat of the power station boiler, the industrial boiler, the industrial kiln, the ship power plant and etc, and effectively improve the utilization rate of the fuel, and the heat exchange element is arranged at the tail of the system flue. 

Description of H-fin boiler tubes

The heat transfer tube of the boiler adopts the H-shaped fin tubes, it is to weld two pieces of steel with arcs in the middle of the arc symmetrically onto the raw tube to form the fins (ribs), the front shape is quite like the letter "H", so it is called H-finned tube. The fins of the H-finned tube are rectangular, approximately square, with a length of about 2 times the diameter of the tube and an extended heating surface. H-finned tube can also be made into "double H" finned tube of double-tube, with good rigidity structure, it can be applied to the longer row of the tubes.

H types finned tubeAdvantages of H-finned tube:

The H-finned tube is the main heat exchange component in the whole exhaust gas boiler, and the H finned tube has the following advantages.

(1) Excellent wear resistance

The H finned tube heat exchanger is arranged in line, and the H fins separate the space into several small areas, which have the effect of equalizing the air flow, comparing to the smooth tube heat exchanger with the staggered arrangement and the spiral finned heat exchanger And so on, in the same other conditions, the wear life is higher 3~4 times.

(2) Fouling reduced

The formation of fouling occurred in the dorsal side and windward side of the tube. The staggered arrangement of the tube is easy to flush the tube bundle, the fouling at back side is less. It has a good self-cleaning function at the appropriate wind speed. On both sides of the H finned tube are formed straight channel, soot, it can get the best soot effect while adopting soot blower.

(3) Reduce the resistance of exhaust gas

As the H fins form straight channels on both sides, and the spiral angel of the spiral fins steer the direction of the airflow, the fins are prone to fouling and have a greater flue resistance than the H fins. Therefore, the use of H-finned tube can reduce the wind resistance, reduce the fan operation and investment costs.

(4) Fins and steel pipe welding fusion rate is high

Since the H fins have a unique zigzag structure (patented), the weld fusion rate for fins and steel pipes can be as high as 98% or more, to ensure a good heat transfer coefficient for H-finned tubes.

(5) Compact structure, high heat efficiency

The heating area per unit length is large, which of the H finned tube is 7.8 times of the smooth tube, The butt welds are all welded by argon arc welding, its welding quality is improved much higher than that of the manual welding. With the size and the weight of the equipment greatly reduced, therefore, in the same heat transfer surface, the equipment investment is greatly reduced, and larger space can be provided to the users on the aspect of the equipment installation.

(6) Shock-proof and noise reduced

Due to the device structural design and the structural characteristics of the H finned tube, it has the structural characteristics of the muffler, so the equipment can function as a muffler.

(7) Convenient for installation, operation and maintenance

While installation, it only need to connect the equipment to the exhaust gas outlet of HFO engine units, the equipment can be put into normal operation; exhaust gas boiler has check door, which can be determined the cleaning cycle according to the actual situation to ensure the heat transfer effect and increase the working life.

Application of H Fin Tubes:

Waste heat boiler tube; Economizer tube; Power station boiler tube; Marine boiler tube; Heat exchanger

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...

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...

What is the difference between pipe bends and elbows?

Bends and elbows are fittings used to change the direction of a pipe. These two kinds of pipe fittings have a wide range of applications in construction, but in actual use, the performance of pipe bends and elbows is different, and elbows are used much more than pipe bends. What is the difference between pipe bends and elbows? An elbow is a pipe part with a bend, which is a commonly used pipe part. Bends are usually manufactured to specific needs. Compared with the elbow, the elbow is much longer and is a curved pipe, while the elbow is only a part that changes the direction of the pipe. Although both are components that change the direction of the pipeline, there are many differences between these two components. 1. Different manufacturing processes for  pipe bends and elbows In the manufacturing process cold and hot bent pipes can be made of pipe bends, which directly bent by the pipe bending machine, and the  bent pipe  can be manufactured at one time without secondary...
