What's the difference between tube fin&bar plate heat exchanger

With the wider application of heat exchanger in various industries, more and more people or companies are using it, they will face the problem of structure of heat exchangers.

So...what's the difference between tube fin&bar plate heat exchanger ?

 

 

Firstly-construction type

 

1.Tube fin heat exchanger

Advantages

  • Light weight(fin+tube=inner passages)

  • High efficient

  • Lower manufacturing cost

 

Disadvantages

  • Radiator core is thinner than the thickness of tank, with less heat dissipation area than bar&plate.

  • High possibility of leakage, not suitable for High Vibration or heavy duty working condition

  • Long developing time
     

    2.Bar plate heat exchanger

    Advantages

  • Compact structure (External Bar+ Inner Bar + Inner Fin )

  • High Performance and longer using life

  • Higher Pressure Capability

  •  

    Disadvantages

  • Compared with tube fin radiator, the radiator weight becomes larger and the cost increase

  •  
  • Endure High Vibration Working Condition

  • No need tube modeling cost , can be customized in various sizes\
