Integrally finned tubes (Integron™) are low finned tubes where the fin is spirally extruded from a thick walled tube. This creates an extended surface to the outer surfaces of the tube, increasing the surface area and heat transfer capability. Optionally, the inner surface of the tube can also be integrally finned, usually with a much longer pitch in order to turbulate the medium flowing through the tube.
The tubes can be used in straight, ‘U’ shaped or coil configurations depending on the application and design constraints. The ‘U’ shape or coil configurations require tube manipulation machinery to manufacture the desired form which is carried out once the tube has been finned. When an integrally finned tube is used in a heat exchanger, the overall design can be made smaller or in the case of re-manufacture or re-tubing of an existing unit, can be made more efficient for the same size design. | Applied Cooling Technology manufactures integrally finned tubes in a variety of materials and in tube sizes range from 5/8” to 1”.
