Benefits of finned tubes
- Increased heat transfer coefficient
By increasing surface area, a fin increases conduction and therefore improves the efficiency of the heat exchanger. - Reduced equipment size
Enhanced surfaces lead to a larger heat transfer area being attainable within a smaller equipment footprint. Find out more about compact fin heat exchangers. - Optimised surface temperatures
One way to improve efficiency is to increase the temperature gradient. However, increasing surface area is an effective alternative where the cost and sensitivity of materials limit temperature manipulation. Fins, therefore, ensure that temperature-sensitive materials can be processed efficiently.
