As one of the world’s leading manufacturers of
finned air-blast heat exchangers, our standard air-cooler
design, like our reputation for superior quality and
performance, has been honed over many years to be the very best
available on the international marketplace. Much of this results
from the use of the Patented
ElfinBlock core,
resulting in class-leading levels of
performance and durability. The ability to specify virtually any
combination of tube and fin material, including copper-alloys,
stainless steel and titanium etc., gives engineers the freedom
to balance budget and longevity considerations.
The Elfin manufacturing process also imparts the ability to
incorporate many enhancements such as louvers, air turbulators and vortex generators.
Our expertise in the use of vortex clean air technology
reduces pressure loss and fin fouling, resulting in lower
maintenance costs and reduced energy consumption.
Elfin products are manufactured using custom built,
state-of-the-art CNC machines incorporating advanced electronics
and linear motor technology. This results in excellent
fin-to-tube contact for optimum thermal conductivity
and increased consistency of fin placement for minimal pressure
drop in stacked rows.
Compare this to some of the alternative construction methods
used by many of our competitors, one of the most common being
bullet-expansion. This method commonly results in varying levels
of contact between the tubes and the fins as variations and
inconsistencies in tube diametre, thickness and ovality take
their toll. This construction method also greatly restricts
material choice, tube thickness and shape. |
