Compact exchangers with low weight, high strength and assured performance over the long term are of specific interest to the Aerospace Industry. These are inherent features of ElfinBlock finned heat exchangers.
A good example is the all-Titanium micro-bore matrix constructed from 3 mm dia tubes which has been well received by engineers. The merits of the Elfin construction, available in almost any combination of fin and tube material, are many and varied.
With a strong, uniform interference-fit bond and precise overlapped fin root, long-term performance and protection are assured. The matrix is inherently rigid, facilitating rapid assembly of tube bundles.
Individual support clips, as used on round finned tubes, are replaced with integral self support systems. Sagging tubes and intermeshing fins are obviated, thereby maintaining performance in the field. | 
The uniformity and precision of the fins also facilitates a further level of size reduction. This arises by virtue of the fact that performance enhancement techniques can be applied, with the assurance that theoretical performance can be reproduced in the field and maintained over the long term on an on-going basis.
We believe the Elfin plate-fin matrix should be of considerable interest to the Aerospace Industry, where compact designs, low weight and assured performance are vital. | Other industries served:-
