The plate - fin heat exchanger is a high - efficiency heat transfer device widely used in various industrial fields. It features a
compact structure and excellent heat transfer performance, making it an ideal choice for applications where space is limited and
high heat exchange efficiency is required. This type of heat exchanger achieves heat transfer between different fluids through a
unique combination of core components, enabling precise control of temperature in processes such as heating, cooling, and heat
recovery.

Fin-tube heat exchanger
Core Components and Their Details
2.1 Fins
* Function: Fins are the key components for heat transfer enhancement. They significantly increase the heat transfer area,
promoting efficient heat exchange between hot and cold fluids. Different fin shapes, such as plain fins, corrugated fins, and
serrated fins, have distinct effects on fluid turbulence and heat transfer efficiency. For example, corrugated fins can enhance
fluid disturbance, thereby increasing the heat transfer coefficient.
* Materials * Aluminum Alloys (e.g., 3003, 5052, 6061): These are lightweight with good thermal conductivity (thermal conductivity ranging
from 100 - 200 W/(m·K)). They are easy to process and cost - effective, making them suitable for applications like aerospace
air - conditioning systems, industrial refrigeration units, and domestic HVAC systems where weight and cost are critical
factors.
* Copper and Copper Alloys (e.g., Pure Copper T2, Brass H62, H65, Copper - Nickel Alloys B10, B30): Pure copper has excellent
thermal conductivity (about 380 - 400 W/(m·K)). Brass offers good strength and corrosion resistance, while copper - nickel
alloys excel in corrosive environments such as seawater. They are widely used in refrigeration (evaporators and condensers
in refrigerators and freezers), marine seawater cooling systems, and high - power electronic component cooling.
* Stainless Steels (e.g., 304, 316, 316L): These provide outstanding corrosion resistance, capable of withstanding the erosion
of acids, alkalis, and chemical media. They also maintain stable mechanical properties at high temperatures. Typical
applications include chemical process heat exchange (such as in sulfuric acid and hydrochloric acid handling), food and
pharmaceutical industries (meeting hygiene and corrosion - resistance requirements), and high - temperature industrial waste
heat recovery (operating stably at 400 - 600℃ or higher).
* Titanium and Titanium Alloys (e.g., Pure Titanium TA1, TA2): They have superior corrosion resistance in harsh environments
like seawater, strong acids, and alkalis. With high strength and moderate density (about 4.5 g/cm³, 60% of stainless steel
density), they are used in marine engineering (seawater desalination equipment heat exchangers, ship power system cooling),
high - end chemical processes (handling highly corrosive and high - purity chemical materials, such as in PTA production),
and nuclear power industry auxiliary system heat exchangers.
