Tube and Fin Heat Exchangers
Tube-and-fin heat exchangers consist of a series of tubes through which the working fluid flows, surrounded by thin aluminum fins that enhance heat transfer by increasing the surface area exposed to air. This type is commonly used in automotive radiators, HVAC systems, and light industrial applications.
Structure
- Tubes: Round or oval tubes, typically arranged in a serpentine or straight pattern.
- Cost-effective: Cheaper to manufacture for high-volume applications.
- Efficient for Moderate duty: Sufficient for applications where thermal loads and mechanical stress are not extreme.
- Good Airflow: Fins allow smooth airflow, ideal for applications with lower pressure drop requirements.
- Cost-effective: Cheaper to manufacture for high-volume applications.
