Brazed Spiral Finned Tubes

Brazed spiral finned tubes deliver unmatched thermal performance and structural integrity, making them essential for the most efficient and durable heat transfer systems. Enhanced Performance Through Metallurgical Bonding

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.
