Heat exchangers smooth high alloy tubes

Smooth high alloy tubes Low-finned tubes Sintered metal tubes Spiral heat exchanger Tube inserts Twisted tubes Helical tube support baffles... 

We also note that while there is an obvious advantage to maintaining smooth, shiny tubes for applications in sensible heat transfer, this may not be true if it is necessary to vaporize liquid in the exchanger. Some of our clients have experienced difficulties due to film heat-transfer resistance and lack of nucleate boiling sites when attempting to use smooth tubes to vaporize relatively pure component liquids. This would be true for high alloy tubes or simply new replacement bundles for bundles of lesser metallurgy.
