Low Fin Tube – Fintelius Engineering

Low Fin Tube

Integral Fin Tube is another name for the ‘Low Fin Tube.’ In today’s industry, this style of fin tube is commonly employed.

Low Fin Tubes/Integral Fin Tubes are becoming more popular in fluid heat exchangers. Unlike other Fin Tubes, their use isn’t restricted to air-to-liquid heat exchangers. As a result, they’re also found in a variety of Shell and Tube heat exchangers.

The fins are made by rolling the fin inside the base tube. The height of the fins is extremely low. However, by increasing the number of fins per inch or the fin density, the heat transmission area can be considerably improved. The rolling is done using a specific machine, and the finished product is available in both straight and U bend configurations.

Fin Tubes are used in Oil Coolers, Shell and Tube Heat Exchangers, and other applications.
