Several reasons can cause a drop in finned tube heat exchanger and shell and tube heat exchangers efficiency. Heat exchangers are devices designed to transfer heat between two fluids, and any factors that hinder this heat transfer can result in reduced efficiency. Some common reasons for a drop in heat exchanger efficiency include: 1. Fouling: […]

Laser Beam Welded Finned Tubes – Laser beam welding is a welding process that irradiates a high-intensity laser beam onto the surface of a metal, and through the interaction of the laser and the metal, the metal absorbs the laser light into heat and melts the metal to form a cooling crystal. High-Frequency Resistance Welded […]

For Aluminum L-Foot finned tubes, the fin material is aluminum, either 1100-0. The tube material is generally carbon steel, stainless steel, or brass; however the tube can be of any material. For Welded Helical Solid and Welded Helical Serrated finned tubes, the fin and tube materials can be any combination that can be welded together […]

Finned tubes are used in applications involving the transfer of heat from a hot fluid to a colder fluid through a tube wall. The rate at which such heat transfer can occur depends on three factors: The temperature difference between the two fluids The heat transfer coefficient between each of the fluids and the tube […]
