Technical Comparison of Different Finned Tube Types

Extruded Type

Extruded finned tubes are formed by fitting an aluminium tube over a stainless steel base tube and then extruding it with specialized equipment to create fins. This process ensures tight contact between fins and base tube, providing excellent thermal conductivity.

  • Base tube material: Carbon steel, Various alloy steels, Stainless steel, Copper tube
  • Minimum base tube diameter: Φ16 mm
  • Fins OD: Φ16-Φ70 mm
  • Fin material: Aluminium
  • Fin pitch: 0-8mm, generally 2.3-5.0mm
  • Fin thickness: 0.35-0.5 mm
  • Length: 0-12m (longer than 12m acceptable)

High Frequency Welding Type

High-frequency welded finned tubes use high-frequency current to generate heat that welds fins to the base tube, creating a strong bond.

  • Base tube material: Carbon steel (20#, 10#, Q235), Various alloy steels, Stainless steel (304, 316L)
  • Base tube OD: Φ20-Φ165 mm
  • Thickness: 2-8mm
  • Fin material: Q195L, SPCC(08F), SPHE(08AL), Stainless steel 304, 316L
  • Fin height: 5-30mm, must be smaller than base tube radius
  • Fin thread pitch: 5-30mm, better more than 5 fins
  • Fin thickness: 0.7-3.0mm

L/LL/KL/KLM/G (Embedded) Type

Embedded finned tubes mechanically embed fins into the base tube surface, creating a strong connection particularly suitable for high-temperature, high-pressure environments.

  • Base tube material: Carbon steel, Various alloy steels, Stainless steel, Copper tube
  • Base tube diameter: Minimum 20mm
  • Fin height: 8-15mm
  • Fin material: 1060 Aluminium
  • Fin pitch: 2.3-5.0mm
  • Fin thickness: 0.4-0.5mm
  • Length: 0-12m (longer than 12m acceptable)

Thermal Performance Comparison Data

Fin Type Thermal Conductivity (W/m·K) Fin Efficiency (%) Max Operating Temperature (°C) Corrosion Resistance
Extruded Aluminium Fin 180-220 85-92 280 Excellent
High Frequency Welded Stainless Steel Fin 15-25 75-85 650 Outstanding
Embedded Aluminium Fin 170-210 80-90 350 Good

Aluminium Fin Stainless Steel Finned Tube Manufacturing Process

The manufacturing of aluminium fin stainless steel finned tubes is a precision engineering process:

  1. Precision cleaning and preparation of stainless steel base tubes
  2. Sleeving aluminium tubes over stainless steel base tubes
  3. Feeding the assembly into a triple-spindle finning machine
  4. Using three special multi-disc packs to extrude the aluminium tube into helical high fins
  5. Simultaneously reducing the inner diameter to create firm pressure contact with the core tube
  6. Conducting quality inspection and performance testing

This process ensures tight contact between fins and base tube, maximizing heat transfer efficiency.
