Abstract: Disclosed is a method of anodizing the interior surface of a heat transfer tube comprising placing a plurality of contact electrodes in electrical communication with, and along, an exterior surface of the heat transfer tube, inserting a counter electrode into an interior space of the heat transfer tube, providing an electrolytic solution to the interior space of the heat transfer tube, passing an electric current between the plurality of contact electrodes and the counter electrode through the electrolytic solution, forming an oxidation layer along the interior surface of the heat transfer tube, wherein the oxidation layer has an oxidation layer thickness that decreases along a length of the heat transfer tube, stopping the passage of the electric current, removing the electrolytic solution, and applying a sealing solution to a surface of the oxidation layer to form a sealed oxidation layer along the interior surface of the heat transfer tube.

Abstract: An anodization apparatus is disclosed that includes an anode holder adapted to hold a tube, such that the tube is adapted to receive electrolyte and the tube has a first surface profile formed on an inner surface of the tube. The anodization apparatus also includes a cathode holder adapted to hold a cathode concentrically in the tube, such that the cathode has a second surface profile formed an outer surface of the cathode and the outer surface faces the inner surface of the tube. The cathode holder and the anode holder are adapted to supply electric potential of a predetermined current density to the cathode and the tube, respectively, and a surface area ratio between the first surface profile and the second surface profile is maintained within a predetermined range to facilitate formation of a homogenized anodized coat on the second surface profile.
