For Refrigerant Applications

An Improved Refrigerant Condenser Tube

Turbo-CIII is designed for condensing refrigerants. The integral helical fins on the outside of the tube are modified to enhance the condensing heat transfer coefficient. The inside heat transfer coefficient is improved because of increased surface area and turbulation induced by integral helical ridges on the inside surface. The availability of plain ends and intermediate lands makes Turbo-CIII especially suitable for shell and tube-side condensers.

The OD enhancement, the ID ridge count, and the configuration have been modified to improve both the OD and ID heat transfer coefficients while simultaneously reducing the weigh per unit length, providing less water-side pressure drop.

Where there is a need for a low ID pressure drop, the tube is supplied with a smooth bore.
