What is Finned tube heat exchange?
Tube Fin Heat Exchangers, also called finned coil heat exchangers, consist of tubes that pass through a dense fin stack that is mechanically supported by a mounting frame. Fluid passes through the tube coils, conducts heat to the fins and dissipates heat to air forced through the heat exchanger.
Ultracool’s engineering team members are experts at thermal design and heat exchanger customization to meet demanding heat transfer requirements for your application. Our standard Tube Fin Heat Exchanger options include copper and stainless steel, but we’re able to utilize aluminum, nickel and cupronickel to meet specific environmental needs. Our team can utilize a variety of fin patterns, bend densities, mounting structures, and pipe connections to design and fabricate an optimized Tube Fin Heat Exchanger for your project parameters. Our ability to finish Tube Fin Heat Exchangers with paint or coatings, enables us to create a complete heat exchanger unit ready for installation.

Coil Replacement:
On receipt of your damaged coil or drawing, we can produce a replica coil to fit into your existing duct work and match up to your existing pipe-work connections when possible.
We also offer an on-site coil measuring service to measure up the existing coil. Many clients have saved both time and money by avoiding unnecessary modifications to their existing installations.
