 Embedded Finned Tube ASTM A179 with AL1060 Fins, G Type Finned Tube For Air Cooler

What is Embedded Finned Tube?

Embedded finned tube is a type of heat exchanger that consists of a tube with finned projections on the outer surface. These fins are made of a different metal or alloy from the tube and are embedded or bonded onto the tube surface. This creates an extended surface area for heat transfer, which increases the heat transfer efficiency of the tube. Embedded finned tubes are commonly used in air-cooled heat exchangers, cooling coils, and condensers in various industries such as petrochemicals, power generation, and refrigeration.

What's the advantage of A179 Embeded Finned Tube with Al1060 Fins?

The advantage of using A179 Embedded Finned Tube with Al1060 Fins is that it improves the heat transfer efficiency of the tube. Al1060 is a specific type of aluminum alloy that has high thermal conductivity, which means it can transfer heat quickly and effectively. When Al1060 fins are embedded onto an A179 tube, which is a low-carbon steel tube, it creates a large surface area for heat transfer, allowing for efficient transfer of heat between the fluid and the tube.

In addition, the use of Al1060 fins reduces the weight of the finned tube and makes it more corrosion-resistant. This makes it suitable for use in environments where corrosion resistance is critical. Al1060 fins also have good formability and are easy to shape, allowing for customization of the fin shape and size to meet specific heat transfer requirements. Overall, using A179 Embedded Finned Tube with Al1060 Fins can result in higher heat transfer rates, lower energy consumption, and longer overall lifespan of the heat exchanger.
