Copper extruded Low fin tube B111 c12200 for air conditioning system

Overview

C12200 Low Fin Tube refers to a type of heat exchanger tube made from Copper Alloy C12200, which is commonly used in applications requiring high thermal conductivity, corrosion resistance, and durability. The "Low Fin" aspect of the tube indicates the use of low-profile fins attached to the tube to increase the surface area for heat transfer while minimizing flow resistance.

C12200 Low Fin Tube combines the high thermal conductivity and corrosion resistance of copper with the efficiency-enhancing low fin design, making it suitable for use in a variety of high-performance heat exchangers, particularly in HVAC, refrigeration, and industrial applications.

Key Characteristics of C12200 Low Fin Tubes:

1. Material: C12200 is a high-purity copper alloy (often referred to as "Electrolytic Tough Pitch" or ETP copper). It contains at least 99.9% copper, with small amounts of oxygen and other impurities. This grade of copper is known for:

• Excellent thermal and electrical conductivity.
• High corrosion resistance, especially in industrial environments (e.g., HVAC, refrigeration).
• Good strength while maintaining ductility.

2. Low Fin Design:

• The low-profile fins are designed to optimize the heat exchange process by increasing the surface area in contact with the surrounding air or fluid.
• These fins are typically spiral in shape and are attached to the outer surface of the copper tube.
• The "low" in "Low Fin" means the fins have a relatively short height, which allows for high heat transfer without significantly obstructing the flow of air or fluid.

3. Applications: C12200 Low Fin Tubes are used in various heat exchanger applications, such as:

• Air-conditioning systems.
• Refrigeration systems.
• Evaporators and condensers.
• Industrial heat exchangers.
• Marine environments, where high corrosion resistance is needed due to exposure to saltwater.

4. Benefits:

• Enhanced Heat Transfer: The low fins provide additional surface area for heat exchange, improving the overall heat transfer efficiency without increasing the resistance to fluid flow.
• Space Efficiency: The compact nature of low fin tubes makes them ideal for use in environments where space is at a premium.
• Corrosion Resistance: C12200 copper has high resistance to corrosion from a variety of environments, which increases the lifespan of heat exchanger systems.
• Durability: C12200 copper is highly durable and can withstand the stresses and conditions typically encountered in heat exchange applications.

5. Manufacturing:

• The tubes are typically manufactured by winding the low fins around the copper tubes using specialized machinery. These tubes are then used in heat exchangers that require efficient heat transfer in compact, space-constrained environments.
