Fin Tubes are mainly used for enhancing the heat transfer between two mediums. The Finned Tubes essentially increase the surface area of the tube thereby increasing the heat transfer ratio. The selection of the type of finned tube to be used depends on many factors like Operating Temperature, Atmospheric Conditions , Mechanical Stresses , Types of Fluid , Pressure etc.
According to the application fin tube heat exchangers are used in many industries namely:
Cooling of engine jacket water, lube oil and inter-stage cooler
Rice Mill Driers, Onion Flake Drier, Tea Manufacturing
Electrical Arc Furnace or Induction furnace cooling
As condenser for air cooled chillers
Cooling Of process Fluids
After cooler and Intercooler
Reactor column cooling
Turbine lube oil cooler/ turbine intercooler
Condensation of process vapour
Cooling of injection molding machine
Roller cooling
