Fins are basically
external surfaces on tube for increasing the surface area of the bare tube, resulting
in a compact Heat Exchanger.
The method of attaching the fins over tube is of prime importance,
since even a slightest air gap between the tube and fins will
defeat the whole purpose of fins over the tube.
Considering the above facts Heft has indigenously designed
and developed a special purpose tube fining machine capable
of producing following types of finned tubes.
HEFT was formed in 1994 to provide the service to petrochemicals,
power generation, chemicals, pharmaceuticals industries with
high quality HELICAL WOUND FINNED HEAT EXCHANGERS tubing used
in the maintenance and manufacture of the air cooled heat
exchangers, air heaters & other related heat exchangers.
Finned
tubes are able to even out the heat transfer between the inside
of the tube and the outside. When the heat transfer coefficient
on the outside of the tube is significantly lower than the
heat transfer coefficient on the inside of the tube, there
is a major advantage to incorporate fins on the outside tube
surface to take full advantage of the high heat transfer rate
on the inside of the tube.
By using a finned tube with eight times as much surface on
the outside of the tube, the total length of the tube required
for heating the viscous oil can be reduced by one sixth, Fins
are basically external surface on tube for increasing the
surface area of the bare tube, resulting in a compact heat
exchanger.
