Brazed spiral finned tubes are constructed by permanently bonding spiral fins to a base tube using specialized brazing techniques. This process creates a direct metallurgical bond between the fin root and tube surface, resulting in a highly efficient and robust heat transfer component.

The Brazing Process

During brazing, the finned tube assembly is heated to a precise temperature. A brazing filler metal (typically a copper-based alloy in wire, paste, or pre-placed form) melts and flows into the fin-to-tube interface via capillary action. Upon cooling, this forms a continuous, homogeneous metallic bond that is integral to the parent materials.

Brazed Spiral Finned Tubes Advantages

• Superior Bond Strength: Metallurgical bond creates joints stronger than mechanical attachments, resistant to thermal cycling, vibration, and mechanical stresses.
• Optimal Heat Transfer: Direct metal-to-metal bond eliminates interfacial resistance (air gaps), maximizing thermal conductivity.
• Exceptional Leak Tightness: Seamless, pore-free joint provides hermetic seal under high pressure.
• Enhanced Corrosion Resistance: Copper-based alloys contribute to longevity and reliability.
• Material Versatility: Compatible with copper, aluminum, stainless steel, and various alloys.
• Durability & Long Service Life: Integral bond resists degradation over time.
