Definition
Low Fin Tubes/Integral Fin Tubes are increasingly being used in various fluid heat Eexchangers.It is suitable for the shell side medium is relatively clean, no corrosion, no scaling, can use low thread finned tube as heat exchange element to form low thread finned tube high efficiency heat exchanger.
Material:Typically constructed from materials such as carbon steel, stainless steel, alloy or copper, providing durability and resistance to corrosion.
Advantages
1.Fins are typically spaced apart and have a low height, which minimizes flow resistance while still providing significant surface area for heat transfer.
2.Corrosion resistance, wear resistance, low contact thermal resistance;
3.The design enhance heat transfer efficiency while maintaining a compact structure;
4.With a versatile application, suitable for a wide range of industries, including oil and gas, chemical processing, and power generation;
Application ( Not limited to the following )
Power Generation
Employed in boilers and condensers to improve heat recovery and overall efficiency.
HVAC Systems
Utilized in heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems to improve energy efficiency,etc.
Heat exchangers, boilers, furnaces and refineries
Widely used in various types of heat exchangers, including air-cooled and water-cooled systems.
