Finned Tube Used in Wood Drying Kiln Project in Indonesia
Finned Tube Used in Wood Drying Kiln Project in Indonesia
Our bimetallic steel-aluminum extruded finned tubes were recently installed in a large wood drying kiln project in Indonesia. The client, a leading timber processing company, needed efficient and durable heat exchangers to optimize drying performance and energy use.
Operating at temperatures above 250°C, the kiln required uniform heat distribution. Traditional steel tubes suffered from corrosion, scaling, and limited thermal efficiency. Our solution combined a steel core for strength with aluminum fins for enhanced heat transfer, improving air-side efficiency by over 20% compared to bare tubes.
The tubes were custom-designed for the kiln layout, with optimized fin density and tube spacing. Our engineering team provided thermal simulations and installation support, ensuring smooth integration.
After implementation, the kiln achieved consistent wood moisture content, energy savings of 15%, and reduced maintenance frequency. The client praised the tubes’ performance, durability, and our hands-on support, highlighting our practical experience in industrial drying applications.
