Helical Type Fin Tube | Sprial Welding Finned Tube
What are Helical Type Fin tube?
Helical Type Fin tubes also called sprial welding finned tube,they are tubes with fins attached to the outside surface. The fins are spirally wound around the tube, creating a helical pattern. The fins can be made from various materials, including aluminum, copper, and stainless steel. The tubes are used in multiple industries, such as power generation, chemical processing, and petrochemical processing.

Features of Helical solid finned tubes
- They can be manufactured in various sizes, fin configurations, and metal combinations to meet specific heat transfer needs.
- They increase the surface area available for heat transfer, which improves the overall heat transfer performance of the system.
- The helical shape of the fins creates turbulence in the fluid, enhancing the heat transfer coefficient between the fluid and tube surface.
- They are commonly used in air-cooled and liquid-cooled heat exchangers, as well as in various industrial processes where efficient heat transfer is essential to the operation of the system.

What are the Advantages of Helical Finned Tubes?
There are several advantages to using helical finned tubes in heat exchangers, including:
- Improved heat transfer: The tubes have a larger surface area for heat transfer than smooth tubes, which allows for more efficient heat transfer between fluids. The fins on the tubes increase the surface area, meaning more heat can be transferred in the same amount of time, resulting in faster heat exchange and improved energy efficiency.
- Enhanced turbulence: The helical pattern creates turbulence in the fluid flowing through the tube, which enhances heat transfer by promoting mixing and preventing the formation of boundary layers.
- Reduced fouling: Fouling occurs when deposits of dirt, scale, or other substances accumulate on the surface of the heat exchanger, reducing its efficiency over time. Helical finned tubes are less prone to fouling than smooth tubes because the fins create turbulence that helps prevent the accumulation of deposits. This reduces the need for cleaning and maintenance, which can save time and money over the life of the equipment.
- Increased durability: Helical finned tubes are designed to withstand harsh operating conditions, including high temperatures, pressures, and corrosive environments. The fins on the tubes provide additional strength and rigidity, making them less prone to damage and more durable over time. This means they require less maintenance and have a longer lifespan than other heat transfer surfaces.
- Versatility: Helical finned tubes can be used in a wide range of applications, including power generation, chemical processing, and petrochemical processing.
- Higher thermal conductivity: Helical finned tubes are made from materials with high thermal conductivity, such as copper, aluminum, or steel. This means they can transfer heat more efficiently than other heat transfer surfaces, resulting in improved energy efficiency and reduced operating costs.
Usage of Helical solid finned tubes
Helical solid finned tubes are primarily used in heat transfer applications where the transfer of heat from one medium to another is required. They are commonly used in air-cooled heat exchangers, such as radiators and air coolers, as well as liquid-cooled heat exchangers, such as shell-and-tube heat exchangers.
Welded solid helical finned tubes are widely used in petrochemical and industrial boilers for heating (heaters) or cooling (coolers) or for recovering heat from industrial fumes. Our finned tubes have a strip of fins wrapped around and continuously welded to the outer surface of the tube using the MIG welding technique. This process results in a very high heat transfer coefficient, approximately 4-5 times higher than other conventional finned products, due to the continuity between the tube and fin material. Add to this the ability to weld very different materials together, and you have an optimum product that can be adapted to a wide range of applications and environments. We are always available to try out new technical solutions at the customer’s request. For possible combinations of materials and dimensions, please find below some information on the most used configurations.
Some specific applications of helical solid finned tubes include:
- Power generation: Helical solid finned tubes are used in power plants to enhance the efficiency of air-cooled heat exchangers, such as those used in cooling towers.
- HVAC industry: Helical solid finned tubes are used in air conditioning and refrigeration systems to improve system efficiency and reduce energy costs.
- Chemical processing: Helical solid finned tubes are used in chemical processing plants for heat transfer between fluids, such as in evaporators and condensers.
- Petrochemical industry: Helical solid finned tubes are used in refineries and petrochemical plants for heat transfer in distillation columns, reactors, and heat exchangers.
Overall, the usage of helical solid finned tubes is quite versatile, and they are commonly used in many industrial processes where efficient heat transfer is essential to the operation of the system.
