Quick Inquiry
Applied finned tubes are seamless pipes that come with fins in different materials. You will find that finned tubes come in a wide variety of styles. Usually, an individually finned tube exchanger consists of helical, serrated, wavy or slotted fins that are attached to the tube by way of welding, soldering, tension winding or brazing.
You can find finned seamless pipes in the same metals or a combination of metals. The use of metal is determined by the purpose for which the tube is used. For example, stainless steel tubes are fitted with aluminum to maximize air cooling in air conditioners. So if you are looking for the right finned tube for your product, here is a quick guide on everything you need to know about finned tubes.
Why Should You Buy Applied Finned Tubes?
Applied finned tubes offer several advantages. The biggest advantage is that you can use alternative materials to make cooling more effective, prevent corrosion and also spend less on materials.
Another major advantage is the balanced thermal conductance that applied finned tubes offer at both ends. This considerably reduces the size of the seamless pipes. Applied finned tubes have a large range of fins per inch in different fin heights, which match conductance requirements.
These advantages make finned tubes a preferred choice for manufacturing purposes. They are used extensively in fin tube heat exchangers, heat recovery systems, evaporators and condensers, general coolers in power plants, etc.
Materials Used for Applied Fin Tubes
Finned tubes are usually made of four metals – stainless steel, carbon steel, copper and aluminum. Each metal has specific properties; as a result, finned tubes made of these materials have specific roles to play.
For instance, if the tube is to be exposed to acidic conditions and a high heat transfer is required – stainless steel fins with a copper tube are the ideal choice.
Carbon steel tubes are best for low-budget projects where corrosion is not an issue.
Copper or aluminum fins are a popular choice in cases where a high-heat transfer needs to be achieved. However, copper is slightly more expensive than aluminum. Aluminum is one of the most popularly used metals in fin tubes. The simple reason for its popularity is that it is affordable, formable and easy to apply.
How to Choose a Finned Tube That Suits Your Requirements
To find finned tubes that best serve your purpose, you must keep in mind a few things such as the operating environment, thermo-physical properties of fluids, thermo-physical properties of materials, mechanical/structural design, amount of heat exchange needed, costs and maintenance.
