Xchanger heat exchanger fin/tube cores can be installed in
ductwork as original or replace existing units heat and cool low
pressure gas streams.
Common Applications
Cooling, dehumidifying and heating low pressure air/gas systems.
Fin-Tube Core
The fins are rectangular plates, with a matrix of die-extruded tube collars. A
sheet metal casing provides rigidity to the fin-tube assembly prior to tube
expansion. After assembly, the tubes are expanded into the fin collars. This
allows for a gap-free connection maximizing heat exchanger performance and structural
integrity.
Installation Considerations
The fluid circuit consists of several parallel tube circuits, which are
joined at inlet and outlet headers. The circuits are designed to work "down
hill" to prevent trapping. To assure complete drainage, optional intermediate
drain headers are available. Attached to the 180º return bends, the drain
headers provide positive water drainage and protection from freeze-up.
Performance
Xchanger engineers use a computer model to analyze heat exchanger
performance. A specifically designed program calculates housing material
thickness based on the ASME code. As with all Xchanger equipment, the
design performance is guaranteed.
