Brief: See how this offering can bring practical value to common tasks and projects. In this video, we explain the manufacturing process of spiral finned tubes, demonstrating how the controlled tension-winding technique creates a reliable mechanical bond. You'll learn about the enhanced air-side performance and corrosion-resistant properties that make these crimped fin tubes ideal for air coolers in demanding industrial applications.
Related Product Features:
Crimped fin tubes feature a helically wound fin strip under controlled tension for enhanced air-side heat transfer performance.
The pre-formed fin base increases contact area and is mechanically locked to the tube surface for reliable bonding.
Available in various material combinations including carbon steel, stainless steel, copper, and aluminum for corrosion resistance.
Designed with uniform pitch to reduce dust accumulation and support easier maintenance in air cooler applications.
Suitable for moderate temperature duty up to approximately 120°C, depending on configuration and materials.
Offers cost-efficient surface area gain without requiring heavier welded-fin constructions.
Provides good mechanical resistance against vibration and handling stresses in industrial environments.
Compatible with API 661 standards for refinery and petrochemical air-cooler procurement practices.
FAQs:
Will the fins loosen over time?
No, the controlled tension-winding process with pre-formed fin base increases contact area, and fin ends are secured with tag/tack/spot fixing to stabilize the wrap for service and transport.
What temperature is this fin type suitable for?
Crimped fin tubes are typically suitable for moderate temperature duty up to approximately 120°C, depending on configuration and materials. For higher temperatures, alternative fin constructions can be proposed.
How do I select base tube and fin materials for corrosion resistance?
We support multiple material combinations including carbon steel, stainless steels, copper and more, allowing you to match process-side corrosion (base tube) and ambient-side corrosion (fin material) to your specific operating environment.
Do you provide inspection documents and traceability?
Yes, we can provide EN 10204 3.1/3.2 material certification and support third-party inspection as required by project inspection and test plans.
