Key Features
- All-aluminum construction: Eliminates corrosion from dissimilar metals and provides a uniform coefficient of thermal expansion.
- High thermal conductivity: Ensures excellent heat transfer efficiency, ideal for power plant air-cooled condensers and waste heat recovery systems.
- Lightweight and easy to install: 70% lighter than equivalent steel tubing, reducing structural load and simplifying handling.
- Corrosion and oxidation resistance: Naturally forms a protective oxide film, effectively resisting corrosion even in humid or marine environments.
- High bonding strength: High-frequency welding creates robust, continuous fin-tube connections, ensuring long-term durability.
- Energy efficiency: Maximizes heat exchange performance while minimizing energy loss during power generation.
