Aluminum Embedded Finned Tubes consists of aluminum fin strip that is mechanically embedded into the wall of the tube. The embedding process is controlled by tooling that first plows a groove into the tubes outside diameter, then guides the base of the fin into the groove and finally locks the fin in place by rolling the groove closed on the base of the fin. This strong mechanical bond holds up to vibration and continuous thermal cycling and can withstand temperatures far greater than those for aluminum L-foot finned tubes. Typical fin spacing is 10 fins per inch of tube length — this can be varied.
