Aluminum Fin Tube

Technical Specification:

  • Tube Diameter: Ranges from 0.375 inches to 1.50 inches.
  • Wall Thickness: Between 0.035 inches and 0.25 inches.
  • Fin Thickness: Varies from 0.010 inches to 0.050 inches.
Performance Differences Of Different Grades of Aluminum Fin Tube:
  • Fin Height: Taller fins increase the heat transfer surface area, enhancing heat transfer efficiency. However, fluid flow resistance and air-side pressure drop should also be considered when selecting an appropriate fin height.
  • Fin Spacing: Smaller spacing can increase the heat transfer surface area, improving heat transfer efficiency. However, spacing that is too small may lead to blockage and cleaning difficulties, increasing maintenance costs.

What Is Aluminum Fin Tube?

Aluminum fin tubes are heat exchanger components made of a base aluminum tube with extended surfaces (fins) attached to the outside. The fins increase the surface area for heat transfer, improving the heat exchanger’s overall efficiency by maximizing the contact area between the fluid or gas being heated or cooled and the surrounding environment. Aluminum is an excellent material for finned tubes because of its high thermal conductivity, which allows for efficient heat transfer between the medium inside the tube and the fins. These tubes are used in applications requiring heat transfer from a hot fluid to a colder one through the tube’s wall.

Performance Characteristics Of Aluminum Fin Tube

High Thermal Conductivity: Aluminum’s high thermal conductivity (around 205 W/m·K) facilitates rapid heat transfer.
Enhanced Heat Transfer Efficiency: The increased surface area from the fins improves heat transfer efficiency, enabling effective cooling or heating.
Lightweight: Aluminum is a lightweight material, making these tubes suitable for applications where weight reduction is important.
Corrosion Resistance: Aluminum forms a natural oxide layer that provides a protective barrier against corrosion, making the tubes suitable for various environments.

Frequently Asked Questions

About Aluminum Fin Tube For Heat Exchangers
We strive to provide you with the best information. Please refer to our FAQ section for quick answers.

How do fins enhance heat transfer?

Fins increase the surface area, improving heat transfer efficiency. Taller fins or smaller spacing increases the heat transfer surface area, enhancing heat transfer efficiency.

What factors influence performance?

Air velocity, fluid flow rate and surface treatments also affect performance. Higher air velocity can increase convective heat transfer coefficients, improving overall heat transfer efficiency.

Are aluminum heat exchangers widely used?

Aluminum materials are widely used in automobile air conditioners. Heat exchangers, including condensers, evaporators, heaters, and pipes, all use aluminum.

What are the advantages of aluminum over copper?

Aluminum is a first choice to replace copper in refrigerators and costs effective, has good processing performance and large reserves.

What challenges exist for aluminum heat exchangers?

Aluminum heat exchangers are susceptible to electrochemical corrosion if impurities are not well controlled, causing maintenance and warranty issues.

What is the maximum length of aluminum fin tubes that you can produce?

We can manufacture aluminum fin tubes up to 12 meters in length, depending on your specifications and requirements.
