fin tube heat exchanger

designed in sw 2014 rendered in keyshot about: Finned tube heat exchangers are used in a variety of household applications and as industrialcar radiator heat exchangers. An air heat exchanger like the evaporator coil for an air conditioning unit is typically a fin tube exchanger like that shown in the diagram at the left. Another common fin tube air heat exchanger is the car radiator, as shown at the right. The purpose of the car radiator is to cool the hot water in the tubes with the air passing through in crossflow. The air conditioner evaporator coil has the purpose of cooling the air passing through it. finned tube heat exchanger A fin tube exchanger can be used as an industrial heat exchanger also. A picture is shown at the left. An application that has seen widespread expansion recently is 'dry cooling' for steam power plants. This consists of using an air cooled condenser instead of a water cooled condenser. Interest in dry cooling for steam power plants has increased because of concern about the amount of water use and thermal effects on water bodies from the traditional cooling systems, 'once through cooling' and 'closed system - cooling tower cooling.'
