ALUMINIUM FINNED WATER TUBE COILS
Aluminum Finned Water Tube Coils are heat exchangers used in HVAC systems to transfer heat between air and water. They consist of tubes, typically made of copper or another material, through which water flows. These tubes are surrounded by aluminum fins, which increase the surface area for heat exchange. The fins enhance the efficiency of heat transfer by facilitating better contact between the air and the water-carrying tubes. These coils are commonly used in air handling units, fan coil units, and other heating and cooling applications to improve thermal performance and energy efficiency.
Key Specification on Aluminium Finned Water Tube Coils
- Tube Material: Typically copper, but can also be stainless steel or other materials depending on the application.
- Fin Material: Aluminum Finned Water Tube, chosen for its excellent thermal conductivity and lightweight properties.
- Tube Diameter: Common diameters range from 3/8 inch to 5/8 inch, depending on the specific design and application requirements.
- Fin Density: Measured in fins per inch (FPI), typically ranging from 8 to 16 FPI, which affects the heat transfer efficiency and airflow resistance.
- Tube Configuration: Various configurations such as staggered or in-line tube arrangements to optimize heat transfer.
- Coil Dimensions: Length, width, and height of the coil, customized to fit the specific HVAC system requirements.
- Fin Thickness: Typically ranges from 0.004 to 0.016 inches, influencing the durability and heat transfer rate.
- Heat Transfer Capacity: Measured in BTU/h (British Thermal Units per hour) or kW (kilowatts), indicating the amount of heat the coil can transfer.
- Working Pressure: Maximum pressure the coil can withstand, commonly up to 300 psi, depending on the material and construction.
- Temperature Range: Operational temperature range the coil can handle, typically from -20°F to 250°F (-29°C to 121°C).
