Abstract:
A finned tube (e.g., for use in a flooded and falling film evaporator) is provided. The finned tube includes a tube body with an interior surface and an exterior surface. The finned tube may include a plurality of adjacent helical fins (e.g., continuously or intermittently) protruding circumferentially around the exterior surface of the tube body. At least one channel is disposed between the plurality of adjacent helical fins. Each respective helical fin includes at least one sidewall and a fin top. Each channel includes at least one channel enhancement impressed radially into and transversely through at intervals around the circumference of the exterior surface of the tube body. The finned tube may also include at least one top enhancement and/or sidewall enhancement impressed radially into and transversely through at intervals around the circumference of the exterior surface of the tube body.
