Finned Tubes, Extruded & Helical High Finned Tubes
Helical high finned tubes, supplied by Heat Ex Tube Limited, are used to manufacture and repair air-cooled heat exchangers - and they have been for the last 60 years.
Finned tubes with applied fins are manufactured by wrapping a fin around the base of the tube - providing the required characteristics for the process application.
Types of helical high finned tubes:
Extruded Fins
Tubes with extruded fins provide complete protection to the base of the tube as they are hardened during the extrusion process - making them stronger than applied fins.
Upper temperature limit: 350°C
Tube Material: Any standard material we stock or is requested
Fin Material : Aluminium
L Fin (or wrapped fin)
The extruded fin tube is wrapped around the tube and secured at each end to provide some surface protection. L Fin tubes are renowned for maximum heat transfer and enhanced corrosion protection - suiting moderate temperature cooling applications.
Upper temperature limit: 120°C
Tube Material: Any standard material we stock or is requested
Fin Material : Aluminium or Copper
LL Fin (or Overlapped Fin)
The fin is wrapped around the tube with an overlapping foot and secured at each end. It offers excellent corrosion resistance and is often used as an alternative for expensive extruded fins in corrosive environments.
Upper Temperature limit: 180°C
Tube Material: Any standard material we stock or is requested
Fin Material : Aluminium or Copper
G Fin Tube (or Embedded Fin)
Fin is embedded into the outer wall of the tube, but gives no surface protection. The finned tube is used in general use for continuous process applications; ie refineries, petrochemical, fertilizer and gas plants.
Upper temperature limit: 450°C
Tube Material : Harder material (Please contact us for guidance)
Fin Material : Aluminium , Copper or steel
KL Fin (or Knurled L fin)
The KL finned tube is manufactured like the ‘L fin’ only the fin is wrapped around the tube and the foot is rolled into the outer surface of the pre knurled tube. KL finned tubes give good surface protection to the tube and improve heat transfer.
Upper Temperature limit: 250°C
Tube Material: Any standard material we stock or is requested
Fin Material : Aluminium or Copper
