High Flux Tubing / Tubes / Pipes
The high flux tubing by WOLFSTECH is the fruit by the jointed efforts from WOLFSTECH and Central South University (China most-well-known non-ferrous research university), with stable & high quality approved by CNPC, SINOPEC, and CNOOC. Such high-tech tubing has used the technologies of Metallurgical Bond+ Machining or Extrusion, and been proved to be a very reliable product, with long life, no leak, building-cost-saving, running-cost-saving, maintenance-cost-saving, room-saving, easy reconstruction of old equipment (like: reboiler) and high enhancement of heat transfer efficiency(especially in boiling). The high flux tubing works, mainly depending on its thin porous coating, which provides numerous stable bubble nucleation sites; because such sintered porous coating has a combination of good matrix thermal conductivity, highly-extended micro-surface area, and many contact points, finally helping produces boiling coefficients that are 10-30 times greater than bare tubes, while extending the nucleate boiling range to very low temperature differences. You can get good boiling at temperature differences or LMTD of only 5 Deg C. The interesting applications of WOLFSTECH high flux tubing mainly focus on phase change, like: Ethylene Carburetor, Ethylene Tower Top Condenser, Ethylene Tower Bottom Reboiler, Glycol Evaporator, Air Separation Unit, Natural Gas Liquefaction, Grassroots Heavy Aromatics Separator, Natural Gas De-ethanizing, Heat-pumped Propylene/Isobutene Fractionators, and Ammonia Plant Syngas Chilling.

Other Advantage if using WOLFSTECH high flux tubing:
1)Our High Flux Tubing have had extensive use in the petrochemical industry, especially ethylene. They can cut the size of an ethane /ethylene splitter re-boiler by over 1/3;
2) The very process of nucleate boiling in our high flux tubing kept the surface in good shape, which would not deteriorate over time (like: fouling, etc). No fouling concerns over and above regular tubes;
3) Doubly enhanced tubes do use extended area to gain heat transfer advantage, the high flux enhancement really targets boiling by assisting in bubble formation; also, resulting in an overall heat transfer improvement of 2-4 times that of bare tubes;
