What is steel aluminum composite finned tube?

Steel aluminum composite finned tubes are specialized components used primarily in heat exchangers to enhance heat transfer efficiency. These tubes consist of two different metals, typically an inner base tube made from materials like copper, stainless steel or carbon steel, and an outer layer of aluminum that is finned through a process known as cold plastic deformation.

Advantages Of Steel aluminum composite finned tube

Corrosion Resistance: The design avoids direct contact between the steel tube and the air, which improves corrosion resistance.

Efficient Heat Transfer: The aluminum fins increase the surface area, facilitating faster heat transfer. The combination of steel and aluminum results in excellent heat transfer performance.

Cost-Effectiveness: Using steel-aluminum composite finned tubes is a cost-effective choice for situations where air is heated by steam or thermal oil.

Structural Integrity: The steel tube provides pressure resistance, while the aluminum fins enhance heat transfer. The composite structure provides high strength.

Low Thermal Resistance: The advanced composite process ensures minimal thermal resistance. They have low contact thermal resistance

Manufacturing Process Of Steel aluminum composite finned tube

Extruded Finning: This involves pushing an aluminum tube over the base tube, then extruding the aluminum to form fins. The aluminum fin is formed by rolling the material from the outside of the outer tube. This method results in an integrated fin with excellent heat transfer performance and life. It has the advantages of tight bonding and small thermal resistance.
Embedded Finning: A U-shaped aluminum strip is helically wound around the base tube, and the edges of the strip are embedded into the tube’s surface, creating a strong bond.
Other Finning Methods: The aluminum fin can be attached to the parent tube by welding
