Applications and Advantages of Extruded Fin Tubes

Extruded fin tubes are produced with the process of rotary extrusion such that it can have integral fin tubes. Such tubes are manufactured by introducing a linning of the aluminium extrusion. The tube as a whole is crushed near to the lining while the surplus materials are pushed out to form spiral fins. The process strengthens the tube and the fins while also preventing galvanic corrosion. The galvanic corrosion can take place if the alloys of two metals are exposed to the air, similar to the other kinds of finned tubes. But if you choose a reputed extruded fin tubes supplier, the fins of these tubes will not break or coil and even the lining will remain intact. This lets the heat exchanger have enhanced thermal performance.

To understand more, you need to know the types of finned tubes.
No matter if it is with or without lining, the finned tubes are generally divided into two:

1. Standard Extruded Fin Tubes or Aluminium Extruded Fin Tubes
2. With a lining of pure copper or copper mixed with other alloys like carbon steel, titanium, nickel, stainless steel and others. 

Features of Extruded Fin Tubes:

• No possibility of the base to have a galvanic corrosion
• The rugged fins are resistant towards high-pressure cleaning without any warping and bending
• Lets the tubes to perform superior transfer of heat and has performance consistency of a lifetime
• Can be made of custom length and shipped according to the requirements
• These extruded fin tubes can have optional sleeves or bell at the end of it that can be reduced in size

Applications of Extruded Fin Tubes

• Heating units
• Cooling units

Advantages:

• Can be easily cleaned with a jet stream of water without disturbing the fins
• Reliable to perform its task
• Uniform heat transfer
• No galvanic corrosion, even between the tubes
• The fins of the tubes are also resistant to vibration
• Great for industrial application

Plant operators usually prefer the aluminium extruded finned tubes as they are considered superior and can fit in any plant. If you are looking to get these tubes for your own industry, get in touch with Anand Seamless. Call us at +91-9099996854 to know more!
