Inner Grooved Aluminium Tube
Aluminium Inner Grooved Tube
Aluminium inner-grooved tube also called internal toothed tube, is the lightweight and cost reduction solution for air conditioning heat exchanger, representing an attractive alternative to copper tube. The inner grooves can be straight or helical. The height range of inner grooves varies from 0.05 to 0.3mm. The higher groove, the better heat transfer performance. It is widely used in heat exchangers for household and commercial air conditioning systems.

Description
Helical Inner-grooved Tube
The inner grooves with helical teeth have been optimised to improve heat transfer. The improvement in the heat transfer coefficient of the tube is two times what can be achieved with traditional smooth bore tubes. The helical inner-grooved tubes greatly increase efficiency, which achieves a more compact design of the heat exchangers and gets a reduction in refrigerant load.
Key Features of Inner Grooved Tube
- High heat transfer efficiency
- Easy to form and bend
- Low cost and weight
- Space-saving

Why Choose Aluminium Inner Grooved Tube With Zinc Coating?
Heat exchangers work in a harsh environment. Our experts strongly recommend the aluminium tube with the addition of a zinc coating. This clad layer provides the tubes with 150% increased corrosion protection and prolonged lifetime compared to that equivalent bare tube.
This zinc coating is available for smooth bore tubes and straight inner grooved tubes.
