Finned Tube Heat Exchangers for Hot Mineral Oil Cooling

Finned tube heat exchangers take in hot mineral oil at a temperature of 315 degrees C and leave at 150 degrees C. The maximum flow rate is 10 gal/min.

Finned tube heat exchangers are a common type of heat exchanger for many applications, including hot mineral oil cooling. Finned Tube Heat Exchangers are designed to efficiently transfer heat from one fluid to another for high or low temperature heat transfer processes.

Features of finned tube heat exchangers include:

Increased heat transfer surface area: the addition of fins increases the surface area of the tubes, which increases the efficiency of heat transfer. This is particularly useful for heat transfer of high viscosity fluids such as hot mineral oils.

Enhanced convective heat transfer: The presence of fins increases the convective heat transfer coefficient of the fluid surrounding the tube, making heat transfer more efficient.

Space saving: Finned tube heat exchangers save space as the same amount of heat transfer can be realized with smaller devices.

Adaptable: Finned tube heat exchangers can be customized and designed according to specific application requirements, adapting to different process conditions and fluid properties.

The application of finned tube heat exchangers has many advantages in the cooling of hot mineral oil. They can effectively reduce the temperature of hot mineral oil to meet process requirements or extend the service life of the equipment. At the same time, finned tube heat exchangers are compact and relatively easy to install and maintain, which makes them one of the common choices in many industrial processes.
