Embedded Finned Tubes

Embedded fins (G-Fins) are made by winding aluminium or copper strip into a helical groove machined on the outer surface of the tube.

The strip winding technology provides different types of fins: L-Fin, LL-Fin, KL-Fin.

FAQ FAQ
Manufacturing Process of G Type Embedded Fin Tube

Process of G Type Embedded Fin

Manufacturing Process of G Type Embedded Fin Tube

G Type embedded fin tubes are a specific kind of heat exchanger component that involves embedding a metal fin into the surface of a base tube. This design enhances heat transfer efficiency and durability, making it suitable for high-temperature and high-pressure applications.

Step-by-Step Manufacturing Process

Step 1: Preparing the Base Tube

The process begins with selecting a suitable base tube, typically made from materials such as carbon steel, stainless steel, or alloy steel. The tube is cleaned and prepared to ensure a smooth and contamination-free surface for the subsequent steps.

Step 2: Creating the G-shaped Groove

A specialized machine is used to cut a precise G-shaped groove into the surface of the base tube. The groove typically has a specific depth and width to accommodate the fin strip securely.

Step 3: Inserting the Fin Strip

A continuous metal strip, usually made of aluminum or copper, is inserted into the G-shaped groove. The strip is carefully aligned and positioned to ensure it fits snugly into the groove.

Step 4: Rolling and Embedding the Fin

A rolling tool or wheel is employed to press the fin strip into the groove. The rolling action deforms the metal around the groove, pushing it back over the fin strip and securing it in place.

Step 5: Finishing

After the fin strip is embedded, the finned tube undergoes a series of finishing processes. This includes trimming any excess material, smoothing the edges, and performing quality checks to ensure the fins are evenly spaced and properly embedded.

Step 6: Testing and Quality Control

The finished G Type embedded fin tube is subjected to rigorous testing and quality control procedures. This includes checking the mechanical strength, thermal conductivity, and overall integrity of the tube.

【H】 Ceramic lined pipe

Ceramic lined pipe is made through self-propagating high-temperature synthesis (SHS) technique.

【H】 Cast basalt lined steel pipe

Cast basalt lined steel pipe is composed by lined with cast basalt pipe, outside steel pipe and cement mortar filling between the two layers.

【H】 Ceramic Tile Lined Pipes

Ceramic tile lined pipes have very uniform coating of specially formulated ceramic material that is affixed to the inner of the pipe.
