Laser Welded Finned Tubes

A high-quality type of heat exchanger component

Professional Laser Welded Finned Tubes Manufacturer

Cufin Tube specializes in manufacturing a wide range of laser welded finned tubes. A type of heat exchanger component that enhances heat transfer efficiency through a strong, precise bond between the tube and fin. Laser welded finned tubes maximize heat transfer by creating a strong, thermally conductive pathway from the tube to the fins, significantly increasing the surface area available for heat exchange, and promoting turbulence. The thermal performance of welded finned tubes was to be three times higher than that of plain tubes.

Technical Specification:
  • Fin height of the fin is more than 5mm;
  • Heat transfer surface area is more than 7 times of the plain tube;
  • Fin density: 5 fins/inch; 7 fins/inch; 8 fins/inch; 9 fins/inch. 
  • Outer diameter is 30-60mm;
  • Fin height: 5-15mm;
  • Maximum processing length: 7m.

What Is Laser Welded Finned Tubes?

Laser welded finned tubes are heat exchanger components designed to maximize heat transfer efficiency by utilizing laser welding to join fins to a base tube. The laser welding process creates a strong and durable bond with a high welding penetration rate. This allows for a higher fin density and a more uniform fin-to-tube bond, enhancing heat transfer and reducing the risk of fin damage. The process is precise, resulting in minimal heat-affected zones and reduced thermal distortion.

Improved Heat Transfer: The strong, gap-free bond between the fin and the tube minimizes thermal resistance, leading to more efficient heat transfer.   

Enhanced Durability: The precise and controlled welding process results in a strong and durable bond, improving the long-term reliability of the finned tube.   

Versatility: Allows for the use of various material combinations to optimize performance in specific applications.   

Compact Design: Enables the creation of more compact and efficient heat exchangers.

Advantages Of Cufin Tube's Laser Welded Finned Tubes

Strong and Durable Bond: Laser welding creates a robust and lasting connection between the fin and the tube, ensuring reliable performance over time.

High Fin Density: More fins can be packed onto the tube surface, increasing the heat transfer area.

Uniform Fin-to-Tube Bond: Improves heat transfer and reduces the chance of fin damage or detachment.

Precise Control: Laser welding allows for accurate control over the welding process, resulting in consistent and uniform welds.

Lower Heat Input: Reduces the risk of distortion in the base tube and fins.

How do Laser Welded Finned Tubes Work?

Strong, Gap-Free Bond: Laser welding creates a robust metallurgical bond with nearly 100% welding penetration between the fin and tube. This strong bond minimizes thermal resistance, enabling more efficient heat transfer from the tube to the fins and then to the surrounding fluid or gas.
Increased Surface Area: Laser welding enables a higher fin density, allowing more fins to be packed onto the tube surface1. This significantly increases the heat transfer area, which improves heat exchange efficiency.
Precise Control and Minimal Heat-Affected Zone: Laser welding offers precise control over the welding process, resulting in consistent and repeatable weld quality. The process creates a narrow weld and minimizes the heat-affected zone (HAZ), which reduces thermal distortion and enhances heat transfer efficiency.
Enhanced Corrosion Resistance: High-quality laser welds without defects help prevent corrosive media from penetrating, thus improving corrosion resistance.

What materials can be used for laser-welded finned tubes?

Common materials include carbon steel, stainless steel, copper, aluminum, titanium, and alloy steel.  We can also weld dissimilar metals like stainless steel to copper.

What are the advantages of laser welding compared to other fin attachment methods (like extrusion or high-frequency welding)?

Laser welding provides a stronger, more uniform, and more durable bond, allowing for higher fin densities, precise control, minimal heat-affected zones, and improved corrosion resistance.

What are the typical applications for laser-welded finned tubes?

Typical applications include power plants, chemical processing, HVAC systems, waste heat recovery, economizers, and heat exchangers in various industries.

Can you provide custom fin geometries or configurations for specific applications?

Yes, laser welding allows for more flexible fin structure designs, including complex shapes and higher fin densities.

What quality control procedures do you use to ensure the integrity of the laser welds?

We use a combination of visual inspection, non-destructive testing (NDT) methods like ultrasonic testing and X-ray inspection, and destructive testing to ensure weld quality.

What is the expected lifespan and maintenance requirements for laser-welded finned tubes?

Laser welded finned tube heat exchanger shows higher reliability. Its stable structure and good performance make repair and replacement less frequent, reducing equipment downtime and maintenance costs. Regular cleaning to remove deposits and periodic inspection for corrosion or damage are recommended.

What packaging do you use to ensure the safe transport of finned tubes?

We use sturdy wooden crates with proper internal supports and protective wraps to ensure that the finned tubes arrive safely without damage during shipping.

What is the typical lead time for manufacturing and delivering laser welded finned tubes?

The lead time for extruded finned tubes is typically 4-5 weeks, depending on the order size and customization requirements. Expedited production can be arranged for urgent projects​.
