Tube-Fin

Custom tube-fin heat exchangers are available with a variety of fin patterns, tube configurations, frames, metals, and fluid connections.

The building blocks of tube-fin heat exchangers are tubes, fin, and frames. We have a variety of fin patterns to choose from, and can customize the tube configuration and frame for our heat exchangers. We frequently work with specialty materials, such as cupronickel, nickel, Hastelloy®, and Inconel®. To meet the stringent shock and vibration requirements of some military applications, we can provide ruggedized frames and fluid connections and insert additional tube sheets as supporting elements within the heat exchanger core. Paints and coatings, including Milspec paints, are available. Fluid inlets and outlets can be customized with bends, fittings, hoses, etc., and additional sensors and instrumentation can also be added.

A customer needed a heat exchanger for use in a saltwater environment. Lytron designed a custom cupronickel tube-fin heat exchanger with a frame and fluid connections that met the customer’s exact specifications.

An OEM required a miniature heat exchanger to fit within their application. Lytron manufactured a 3” (8 cm) tube-fin heat exchanger with Chemfilm® coating.

To meet an OEM’s unique requirements, Lytron designed a heat exchanger with stainless steel tubes and nickel fin. Stainless steel tubes are recommended for use with corrosive fluids, including deionized water.

Custom 6000-Series style heat exchangers can be manufactured in any size and tube configuration to match your demanding thermal requirements. Variations in inlet/outlet position and/or fittings can be accommodated and a selection of paints and other coatings is available. Assemblies including fans and other components can also be supplied. This 6000 Series heat exchanger has custom circuitry, sensor ports, and inlet/outlet fittings per an OEM’s specifications.

Modified standard OEM coils are designed for flexibility and are available in three standard widths and any length up to 4 ft (1.2 m). For high volume applications we can customize dimensions, tube configuration, fittings, and more to meet your precise thermal requirements and size envelope. This custom OEM Coil subassembly was supplied with a fan, finger guard, and hosing for one of Lytron’s customers.
