What Is a High Frequency Welded Spiral Fin Tube?
High frequency welded spiral finned tube is to use the skin effect and proximity effect of high frequency current to heat the steel strip and the outer surface of the steel tube until the plastic state or melting, while the steel strip is wound around the steel tube. The welding is completed under a certain pressure when the steel strip is wound. This kind of high-frequency welding is a solid phase welding. It is more advanced in terms of product quality (high welding rate of fins, up to 98%), productivity and automation.
How Are High Frequency Welded Fin Tubes Manufactured?
HFW Finned Tube(High frequency welded solid finned tube) is a spiral winding of steel fins, which is continuously welded on the steel pipe by high frequency resistance welding (HF ERW). A high-frequency current is introduced into the workpiece, the welding contact surface is melted or semi-melted by resistance heat, and then appropriate pressure is applied to the welding contact surface to complete the welding of the finned tube. This produces a uniform, clean and continuous finned tube combined with no additional welding material for very efficient heat flow and corrosion resistance.

Advantages of HFW Spiral Fin Tubes
1. Due to the fast welding speed and strong self-cooling effect of the weldment, not only the heat affected zone is small, but also oxidation is not easy to occur, so the structure and performance of the weld are very good.
2. Anti-corrosion performance, wear-resistant performance, low contact thermal resistance, high stability, and anti-fouling ability.
3. Large heat exchange area.

High Frequency Welded Spiral Fin Tube Application

The spiral fin tube radiator for vegetable and flower greenhouse is an efficient and durable heating equipment, especially suitable for greenhouse cultivation in cold seasons.

During the breeding and brooding process, the high-frequency welded fin tube radiator improves the heat exchange efficiency by increasing the heat dissipation area, and can raise the temperature in the brooding house to the required level in a short time. This design enables the farm to quickly reach and maintain a suitable temperature range (15-20 degrees Celsius) when heating in winter.

The carbon steel finned tube heat exchanger for wood drying is a highly efficient heat dissipation device, which is mainly used to provide a stable heat source during the wood drying process to ensure that the wood is evenly heated during the drying process to avoid deformation and cracking.

The stainless steel finned tube radiator for food drying is an efficient, safe and easy-to-use equipment, especially suitable for the field of food drying.

The working principle of the high-frequency welded finned tube heat exchanger for flue gas waste heat recovery is based on heat conduction and convection heat transfer. High-temperature flue gas passes through the outside of the finned tube, while the working medium (such as water or heat transfer oil) flows inside the tube. The heat of the flue gas is transferred to the working medium through the metal wall of the finned tube, realizing the recovery and utilization of heat energy.

High-frequency welded finned tube heat exchanger for air preheater is an efficient and durable heat exchange equipment, widely used in various industrial fields.

The fin tube radiator for boilers is a device that efficiently utilizes the waste heat discharged by the boiler. Through its specially designed fin tube structure, the heat exchange efficiency is significantly improved. This kind of radiator usually consists of two parts: a base tube and fins. The fins are tightly and evenly wound or welded on the surface of the base tube, thereby greatly increasing the heat dissipation area and allowing heat to be more fully transferred to media such as air or water.

Galvanized finned tube heat exchanger for industrial plants is a highly efficient heat exchange equipment, widely used in various industrial cooling, heating and heat exchange systems.
