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.
