Finned-tube heat exchangers are highly effective in applications with high heat loads and temperatures, such as cooling gases that may reach up to 1000°C. By using a finned surface, the exchanger significantly increases the surface area for heat transfer, enhancing cooling efficiency without requiring additional space. Suitable for Endo Gas, Methane, CNG, PNG, LPG etc,
Advantages of Finned-Tube Design with Carbon Steel Tubes and Stainless Steel Fins
- High Thermal Efficiency
- Finned Surfaces: Stainless steel fins maximize heat dissipation, allowing for faster cooling by creating more contact with the air.
- Carbon Steel Tubes: Excellent for handling high-pressure gases and temperature resilience, making it suitable for industrial gas cooling applications.
- Material Durability and Longevity
- Stainless Steel Fins: Resistant to oxidation, corrosion, and scaling, which extends the heat exchanger’s lifespan and reduces maintenance frequency.
- Carbon Steel Tubes: Cost-effective and reliable, suitable for high-temperature applications while also capable of withstanding the thermal cycling from rapid cooling.
- Customizable Configuration
- Fin Density and Thickness: Fin thickness, typically between 0.3–0.5 mm, and fin density can be adjusted based on cooling requirements and air flow rates. Higher fin density increases surface area but may raise airflow resistance.
- Tube Arrangement: Carbon steel tubes are often arranged in staggered patterns to create turbulence in the gas flow, promoting better heat transfer and minimizing hotspots within the exchanger.
- Efficient Fan and Motor Options
- Variable Fan Speeds: Adjustable fan speeds (often with variable frequency drives, or VFDs) allow for customized air flow to match cooling demand, optimizing energy use.
- High-Capacity Motors: Fans are typically high-capacity, with options ranging from low to high RPM, depending on desired cooling efficiency and air pressure requirements.
