A serpentine finned tube is a flexible or rigid tube that twists multiple times within a plane, designed to allow for efficient heat exchange or flexible directional applications. ‌1
The main uses include:
Boiler and heat exchange equipment: used for convective heating surfaces of boilers, such as economizers, superheaters, and reheaters, to achieve efficient heat transfer and save energy. ‌16
Industrial heat exchange process: In industries such as petrochemicals and pharmaceuticals, serpentine tube heat exchangers heat or cool media (such as crude oil or pharmaceutical raw materials) to ensure process stability and efficiency. ‌6
Metal hose application: As a bendable and shaped metal hose, it is suitable for LED lighting, medical equipment, electronic devices, and desk lamp brackets (gooseneck tubes), providing flexible support. ‌59
Pipe bending and structural components: used in the fields of building materials, shipbuilding, chemical engineering, etc., for bending pipes or constructing circular steel structures, such as tunnel supports and roof bending beams. ‌7
Condensation device: Serpentine condenser tube is used in distillation, fractionation or reflux equipment to condense steam and condense liquid droplets, commonly used in chemical or laboratory environments.
