Lord Fin Tube-Finned tube cooler

What is finned tube cooler?

The finned tube cooler, also known as a stainless steel radiator, serves as a dual-circuit (two-row) or multi-circuit (four-row) air heat exchanger constructed from steel. Its core component is the finned tube, which is crafted from seamless steel pipe (Φ 18 × 2mm) enveloped by folded steel strips (10 × 0.3mm). These strips form a spiral pattern around the tube, with a fin spacing of 3.2mm. The cooler can adopt various configurations in terms of surface tube quantities, tube lengths, and row counts, giving rise to a diverse range of specifications. The inlet and outlet pipes are conveniently positioned on the same side. The systems heat source originates from either steam or high-temperature water, while the cold source entails low-temperature water or brine. This versatile unit functions as both an air heater and air cooler, embodying traits of cost-effectiveness, longevity, and adaptability.

The finned tube cooler application

The finned tube cooler finds extensive application within air conditioning, cooling, and dehumidification projects across paper-making, chemical, light, and textile industries. Its compact heat pipe and closely arranged fins contribute to its impressive performance.

In low-temperature refrigeration setups, the efficiency and resistance characteristics of the evaporator hinge upon the specific fin structure and geometric dimensions of the finned heat exchanger. To optimize this structure, the variable fin spacing is manipulated through design adjustments, thereby enhancing heat transfer capabilities. A comparative analysis of heat transfer performance pre- and post-optimization showcases improved heat transfer coefficients.

The realm of application for the finned tube cooler spans textile manufacturing, wood drying, pharmaceuticals, food drying, drying equipment, waste heat recovery systems, boilers, printing and dyeing setups, pharmaceuticals, petroleum, painting and baking processes, power generation, rubber production, leather manufacturing, and other related industries. Catering to individualized parameter requirements of customers, customized finned tube heat exchangers can be tailored accordingly.
