The common application fields are:
Heat exchangers units for power plant(electric, nuclear, thermal and geothermal power plants);
High corrosive systems (condensers, evaporators, sea water desalinations, fertilizing, urea systems, ammonia, gas, corrosive acids);
The petroleum, chemical and petrochemical industries;
The food processing and refrigeration industries;
Natural gas treatment;
"L" Footed Fin Tubes
"L" Footed Fin has a lip at the base which is tension wound around the tube. This increases the connected area and increases the heat transfer connect area between the fin and the tube and decreases the exposed joints at the fin base.
"LL" type fin tubes also called Overlapped "L" Fin tubes
The Overlapped "L" fin design has interlocking fins that are wound together to prevent movement and separation. The fin protects the entire tubes, so the designation works well for the applications where corrosion is a factor.
KL fin tubes also named knurled finned tubes.
Manufactured method is exactly as the "L" finned tube except that the base tubes are knurled before application of these fin foot. After application, the fin foot is knurled into the corresponding knurling on the base tube thereby enhancing the bond between the fin and tube, resulting in improved heat transfer characteristics.
