Selection and Use of Spiral Finned Tubes

What are spiral fin tubes?

‌Spiral fin tubes ‌are high-efficiency heat transfer elements with spiral fins. Their heat transfer area is several to dozens of times that of light tubes. They can enhance heat transfer, reduce flow resistance, and reduce metal consumption, thereby improving the economy and operational reliability of heat exchange equipment.

Structure and working principle of spiral fin tubes

The basic structure of spiral fin tubes is to weld or sleeve spiral fins on the outer surface of the base tube. These fins are usually manufactured by high-frequency resistance welding, brazing or integral forming. ‌High-frequency resistance welded spiral fin tubes generate resistance heat by introducing high-frequency current to make the welding contact surface reach a molten or semi-molten plastic state, and then apply pressure to complete the welding.
Brazed spiral fin tubes use brazing filler metal with a lower melting point to form joints between welds.
Integral spiral fin tubes are formed in one step by medium-frequency continuous heating, extrusion, and rolling.

The performance and life of spiral finned tubes depend on material selection, fin parameter adjustment and scene adaptation. The base tube needs to match carbon steel, stainless steel or copper to cope with different working conditions, and the fin height and spacing need to balance heat dissipation and airflow.

Ensure neat arrangement and tight sealing during installation, regularly clean up dust accumulation and monitor operating parameters to ensure heat exchange efficiency and stable production.

In many heat exchange and heat dissipation scenarios, spiral finned tubes are favored for their unique design and high efficiency. Tuttavia, to give full play to its advantages, correct selection and reasonable use are crucial.

1. Key points for selecting spiral finned tubes

(I) Material considerations

The base tube and fin materials of spiral finned tubes directly affect their performance and service life. Carbon steel, stainless steel, copper, etc. are commonly used for base tubes. Carbon steel has a low cost and decent thermal conductivity, which is suitable for general working conditions; stainless steel has strong corrosion resistance and performs well in environments with corrosive media; copper has excellent thermal conductivity and is often used in occasions with extremely high requirements for heat transfer efficiency. In addition to matching the base tube, aluminum fins are also commonly used because of their light weight and good thermal conductivity. When choosing, it is necessary to make a comprehensive judgment based on the temperature, pressure, corrosiveness and other factors of the actual working environment.

(II) Selection of spiral fin tube fin parameters

The height, spacing and thickness of the fins are key parameters. Higher fins can increase the heat dissipation area, but too high may affect air circulation; too large fin spacing will result in insufficient heat dissipation area, and too small fin spacing will easily accumulate dust and increase air resistance.

The thickness of the fins must take into account both strength and heat transfer. Too thin is easy to damage, too thick will increase costs and the improvement of heat conduction efficiency is limited. These parameters need to be accurately calculated and determined based on specific heat exchange requirements and airflow conditions.

(III) Applicable scene adaptation

Different industries and equipment have different requirements for spiral fin tubes.

The economizer and air preheater of industrial boilers require spiral finned tubes that are resistant to high temperature, high pressure and high heat transfer efficiency;

The HVAC system focuses on meeting the indoor temperature regulation, and has certain requirements for noise control and corrosion resistance;

The chemical industry, due to the presence of corrosive media, should pay more attention to the corrosion resistance of the material. Only by clarifying the characteristics of the application scenario can you choose the right spiral finned tube.

2. Key points for use

(I) Installation

During installation, ensure that the spiral finned tubes are arranged neatly and fixed firmly. The welding or sealing with the connecting pipes should be tight to prevent leakage of the heat medium. Pay attention to the airflow direction at the installation location to ensure that the air can flow smoothly through the fins and give full play to the heat exchange effect. At the same time, reserve enough space for future inspection and maintenance.

(II) Operation and maintenance

During operation, regularly monitor the flow, temperature and pressure of the heat medium to ensure that they are within the design range. Clean the dust and impurities on the surface of the fins in time to avoid dust accumulation affecting the heat transfer efficiency. Regularly inspect the entire equipment to check whether the fins are loose or damaged, whether the base tube is corroded or deformed, and deal with problems in a timely manner.

(III) Troubleshooting

If the heat transfer efficiency decreases, it may be due to dust accumulation on the fins, insufficient heat medium flow, or pipe blockage. Targeted cleaning, flow adjustment, or pipe unblocking are required. If the fins are found to be detached, they should be re-welded or the damaged parts should be replaced in time. For base tube leakage, welding repair or replacement of the base tube should be adopted according to the material and leakage degree.

The selection and use of spiral fin tubes covers many details. Only by accurately grasping the material, fin parameters and applicable scenarios during selection, standardizing installation, careful maintenance, and properly handling faults during use, can the spiral fin tubes continue to operate efficiently in heat exchange and heat dissipation, provide strong support for the stable production and comfortable environment creation of various industries, and promote the efficient development of industry and life.
