Finned Tube Heat Exchangers have tubes with extended outer surface area or fins to enhance the heat transfer rate from the additional area of fins. Finned tubes or tubes with extended outer surface area enhance the heat transfer rate by increasing the effective heat transfer area between the tubes and surrounding fluid. The fluid surrounding finned tubes maybe process fluid or air.
Applications :
-
These heat exchangers are often used in power plants as an exhaust gas heat exchanger to increase the efficiency factor. Further applications in power plants are the preheating of combustion air as well as the condensation of exhaust steam from steam or ORC turbines.
-
In Industrial dryers Finned Tube Heat Exchangers will be used for heating of air by hot water, steam or thermal oil in large quantities.
-
In many industrial production processes, such as for the air conditioning of buildings, It used as an air cooler for cooling down or re-cooling of liquids. Due to the problems with Legionella, the high consumption of fresh water, as well as the elaborate water treatment, closed cooling circuits with finned tube heat exchanger will be used instead of cooling towers with open water circuit.
