ASTM B111 C71500 Copper-Alloy Low Fin For Heat Exchangers In Power Plants

Increased Surface Area: The low fins significantly increase the external surface area, facilitating efficient heat transfer between the fluid inside the tube and the external environment.

Improved Thermal Performance: The fins disrupt the fluid boundary layer, promoting turbulence and enhancing the convective heat transfer coefficient.

Superior Seawater Resistance: C71500 Copper Nickel offers excellent resistance to seawater corrosion, making these tubes ideal for marine applications.

Biofouling Resistance: The alloy resists biofouling, reducing maintenance and ensuring long-term performance in seawater environments.

Erosion Resistance: The addition of iron and manganese improves resistance to erosion, particularly in high-velocity water and turbulent flow conditions.

High Strength: The copper-nickel alloy provides good mechanical properties, including tensile and yield strength, ensuring durability and reliability under pressure and thermal cycling.

Durability: The robust construction and inherent corrosion resistance of the alloy ensure a long service life, even in harsh operating conditions.

Heat Exchangers: Ideal for shell and tube heat exchangers, air-cooled heat exchangers, and plate heat exchangers, especially in marine and coastal environments.

Desalination Plants: Used in desalination plants to efficiently transfer heat in the process of converting seawater to freshwater.

Power Plants: Suitable for heat exchangers in power plants, where resistance to corrosion and biofouling is critical for long-term operation.

Space-Saving: The low fin design allows for a more compact heat exchanger configuration, reducing overall size and weight while maintaining high thermal efficiency.

Cost-Effective: The compact design leads to material and installation cost savings, making these tubes an economical choice for large-scale applications.
