Extruded vs. L-Footed Finned Tubes for Air-Cooled Heat Exchangers
In refinery and petrochemical plants, air-cooled heat exchangers (ACHEs) operate under demanding thermal, mechanical, and environmental conditions. The selection of finned tubes can affect heat-transfer performance, thermal stability, maintenance requirements, and the long-term operating cost of the air cooler. Two commonly considered constructions are extruded finned tubes and L-footed finned
