Fin tubes are used in various industries such as HVAC, power generation, chemical, and petrochemical. They are used to increase the heat transfer rate between the fluid inside the tube and the surrounding environment.
Finned tubes are made by attaching fins to the surface of the tube. Fins can be made of various materials such as aluminum, copper or steel. The fins increase the surface area of the tubes, which increases the rate of heat transfer.
There are various types of fin tubes such as plain fin tubes, serrated fin tubes, and helical fin tubes. The type of fin tube used depends on the application and the desired heat transfer rate.
