Fin Tube Heat Exchanger
Finned tube heat exchangers are a type of heat exchanger that use finned tubes to increase the heat transfer surface area between the two fluids or gases being used to transfer heat. The fins on the tubes increase the heat transfer coefficient and promote turbulence in the fluid flow, allowing for greater heat transfer efficiency.
Finned tube heat exchangers are commonly used in applications where one fluid or gas is at a much higher temperature than the other, such as in air conditioning, refrigeration, and power generation. They are also used in industrial processes that involve heating or cooling of liquids or gases, such as in the chemical, petrochemical, and food processing industries.
There are several types of finned tube heat exchangers, including cross-flow, counter-flow, and parallel-flow designs. The choice of design depends on the specific application and the desired heat transfer characteristics. Other factors that may influence the design of a finned tube heat exchanger include the fluid properties, flow rates, pressure drop requirements, and space limitations.
- Good heat transfer performance
- Large heat transfer coefficient due to fluid perturbation by the fins, resulting in continuous rupture of the boundary layer
- Compact structure
- The combination can adapt to different heat exchange conditions such as: counterflow,staggered flow, multi-stream flow and multi-pass flow.
- Corrosion resistant
- Preferred materials,anti-oxidation, corrosion resistance, longer service life
- Carbon and Carbon alloy
- Stainless and Duplex alloy
- Copper and Copper alloy
- Titanium and Titanium alloy
- Nickel alloy
- Heat exchanger for Oil refinery and Petrochemical plants
