Longitudinal Finned Tube

Longitudinal Finned Tube Overview

Longitudinal Finned Tubes are expertly crafted using resistance welding techniques to attach fins along the length of the tube. Initially, the fin strip is shaped into a U-channel, forming two fins from each side of the U. These channels are precision-cut to the correct length, positioned along the tube, and resistance welded in place. They are welded in pairs, directly opposite each other, so the number of fins is always a multiple of four.

Advantages of Longitudinal Finned Tubes:

1. Enhanced Durability: Offers a longer lifespan compared to standard helical fin tubes.
2. Safety and Energy Efficiency: Provides a safer and more energy-efficient heat transfer solution.
3. Improved Heat Transfer: Ideal for increasing heat transfer rates in viscous liquids.
4. Perforated Options: Includes perforated fin designs for efficient drainage when handling liquids.
5. Versatile Applications: Extensively used in horizontal heat exchangers.
