Industrial Heat Transfer Solutions Updated: November 2023

Technical Advantages

H-shaped finned tube or square finned tube advantages:

H-shaped finned tube or square finned tube adopts a new welding process. A number of zigzag structures are used at the welding contact parts of the fins, so that the heating is uniform, the welding surface is uniform, and the surface is smooth. There is no slag inclusion, porosity and weld beading. The welding fusion rate is up to 97%. Due to the uniform heating, the compression plastic deformation generated in the welding process is reduced, the longitudinal residual tensile stress near the weld is reduced and the residual compressive stress borne by the fin far from the weld is greatly reduced, which can significantly reduce the wave deformation of the fin and make the welding quality of H-shaped fin tube meet the requirements of technical conditions.

This innovative welding process ensures that H-shaped and square finned tubes maintain structural integrity under extreme thermal cycling conditions, making them ideal for high-performance heat exchangers in demanding industrial applications.
