Key Features

1. Base Tube Material: C12200 Copper

• C12200 copper (also known as oxygen-free copper) is a high-purity copper alloy with excellent electrical and thermal conductivity.

• C12200 copper is ideal for use in heat exchangers because of its superior heat transfer properties, which ensure efficient heat exchange between hot gases and cooling fluids.

• C12200 copper is also known for its high resistance to corrosion, making it suitable for use in harsh environments like marine and chemical processing systems.

2. Fin Type: Low Fin Design

• The low fin design is used to increase surface area for heat transfer while maintaining a compact form factor.

• The low-profile fins are spaced closely together to provide maximum heat dissipation without adding significant bulk to the tube, making it ideal for use in space-constrained systems.

• This design ensures efficient thermal exchange in air-cooled heat exchangers and cooling systems.

3. Fin Material: Copper

• The low fins are made from C12200 copper, ensuring excellent thermal conductivity and resistance to corrosion.

• The use of copper fins allows for superior heat transfer while ensuring uniform thermal expansion and a strong bond between the fins and the base tube.

4. Application: Heat Exchanger, HVAC, Cooling Systems

• C12200 Copper Low Fin Tubes are widely used in industrial heat exchangers, marine cooling systems, and HVAC applications where efficient heat transfer is required in space-limited or high-temperature environments.

• These tubes are particularly effective in air-cooled condensers, chemical reactors, and power plants where reliable heat exchange is critical.
