Fin and tube heat exchangers

Choosing aluminium alloys

When incorporating aluminium in your product, you need to use the correct alloys for the different components. But choosing a combination of alloys that ensures the highest degree of corrosion performance is challenging. Our competence helps you get the best results possible.

Aluminium meets all design requirements

An all-aluminium fin and tube system can solve all design challenges, with direct cost benefits compared to the alternative with copper tubing:

  • No galvanic corrosion between fin and tube
  • No formicary corrosion, as aluminium is inherently immune to it
  • Can be used in ammonia systems, copper can not
  • Heat exchanger manufacturers save 20-25% on material costs
  • All-aluminium is always easy to recycle

Tube geometry and alloy combinations

You need to select the right alloy combinations, tube geometry and internal enhancements in order to tailor the performance and properties to the various environments and applications. We can assist you in this work.

The first thing an Indian car buyer tends to do is switch on the air conditioning and hope the car cools down instantly. "We have to design heat exchange evaporators to cool down fast," says Ravi Chidambar, CEO of Tata Toyo Radiator Ltd.
The fundamentals of cooling an engine or warming a passenger compartment have not changed much in the past 50 years, but the technological advances have been stunning. "It is very exciting for engineers," says Martin Bauer.
