Aluminum L-Foot Tension Wound Finned Tubes Structure & Manufacturing Process
- Forming Method: Aluminum strip is spirally wound onto the base tube (carbon steel/stainless steel) at room temperature using mechanical tension, forming an L-shaped crimped root for mechanical fixation.
- Contact Design: Wrapping tension determines tube-fin bonding strength. Insufficient tension increases contact thermal resistance (high-quality products: ≤0.01 m²·K/W).
L-Foot Finned Tube Performance Parameters
| Characteristic | Parameter/Performance |
|---|---|
| Temperature Limit | Max. 70°C for aluminum fins; bond strength degrades significantly >70°C |
| Heat Transfer Enhancement | Fin surface area expands to 3–5× that of bare tubes |
| Fin Specifications | Aluminum strip thickness: 0.2–0.5 mm; Fin spacing: 2.3–8 mm (adjustable) |
| Anti-Collapse Strength | Low mechanical strength; vulnerable to deformation under impact |
L-type Tension-wrapped Finned Tubes Applications & Limitations
- Recommended Applications:
✓ Low-temperature drying systems (e.g., food spray dryers)
✓ HVAC systems (greenhouse heating, ≤70°C environments) - Restricted Applications:
✗ Steam heat exchange (>150°C causes fin loosening)
✗ Highly corrosive flue gas environments (requires additional galvanization)
Technical Limitation: Dramatically increased contact thermal resistance at high temperatures; gradually being replaced by rolled/grooved or high-frequency welded finned tubes.
