The Heat Transfer Part for Convection Section
Helical finned tubes are the core heat transfer parts in the convection section of tube furnaces, waste heat boilers, and air preheaters. They decide the waste heat recovery rate and energy use of the whole unit. Our products join the base tube and fins with high-frequency welding. They come as modular tube bundles. These finned tubes are key parts for saving energy, cutting carbon, raising heat efficiency, and lowering fuel use in petrochemical and steel plants. A product greatly increases the heat exchange area. This lets the flue gas and the medium exchange heat more fully.

During furnace operation, hot flue gas carries a lot of waste heat through the convection section. Our products quickly catch and transfer this heat. They take heat that would go out the stack and put it back to work. This significantly lowers the exhaust gas temperature. It also raises the inlet air temperature to the furnace. The burner works better, and the furnace heat transfer is more stable. So the total heat efficiency goes up, and fuel use goes down. Our helical finned tubes use high-frequency welding. The fins and base tube bond tightly. The heat conduction resistance is very low. The weld is strong. Under high heat, vibration, and long running time, our finned tubes do not loosen, fall off, or crack.
The base tube and fin material can be chosen based on medium temperature, corrosion level, and dust in the flue gas. Our helical finned tubes work in oil refining, hydrogen production, ethylene, aromatics, and many other conditions. We can make fins with different heights and densities. We can change tube length, diameter, and arrangement. This makes our finned tubes match the convection section design of different furnaces perfectly, giving the best heat transfer. Our products have strong universality. They are easy to install. They last long and cost little to maintain. They are used in almost all tube furnaces, including crude heaters, hydrogen reformers, ethylene cracking furnaces, reformers, and hydrogenation heaters. They also work in waste heat boilers and air preheaters. The modular design makes field replacement quick and shortens unit shutdown time.
