KL type finned tube is a kind of knurled finned tube. Before winding the fins, knurl patterns on the base tube, or add a blade to the winder, knurl on the base tube, and use the back blade A finned tube made by winding, knurling and winding at the same time.
The KL Type Finned Tube relies on maximum surface contact between the fins and the tube, which is ensured by the tension of the fin strips helically forming around the pre-knurled tube, providing improved bonding and heat transfer. The maximum working temperature of KL Type Finned Tube can reach 250°C, and the maximum working pressure can reach 3.2MPa.

We can customize L Type Finned Tube for heat exchanger according to your drawings
Example:
Type LL finned tubes are preformed into LL shape (overlapping LLs) with fin feet and aluminum fin tape or copper fin tape is applied to the base tube under tension. The feet are pre-formed to allow one foot to overlap the other, increasing base tube protection and finned tube thermal contact area.
KL Finned Tube is combined with two different materials
Core tube material: carbon steel, low alloy steel, stainless steel, brass, copper, copper-nickel alloy, aluminum bronze, nickel alloy.
