Aavid, Thermal Division of Boyd Corporation Stainless Steel Tube-Fin Heat Exchangers
Aavid, Thermal Division of Boyd Stainless Steel Tube-Fin Heat Exchangers are ideal for applications where deionized water or corrosive fluids are used, and a high-performing heat exchanger is required. The devices provide heavy-walled, seamless stainless steel tubes that are expanded into the copper fin with an extruded full collar. The copper fin and the excellent metal-to-metal contact between the tube and the fin collar ensure optimum thermal performance. An integrated fan plate enables easy fan installation and acts as a plenum to ensure uniform air-flow distribution through the core, thus maximizing performance. All the wetted surfaces of the Aavid, Thermal Division of Boyd Stainless Steel Enchangers are 316L stainless steel.
The Aspen heat exchangers combine low price and low-pressure drop with excellent heat transfer and superior fluid integrity. The Aspen devices feature 0.020” (0.5mm) wall tubing. A proprietary manufacturing process expands the tubes into the copper fin without the use of oils, and a liquid return design eliminates potential particle trapping sites, which can contaminate the cooling fluid. Argon-purged welded joints further ensure cleanliness.
The 4000 series heat exchangers feature argon-purged welded joints that help ensure cleanliness and 0.028" (0.7mm) wall tubing. When high performance in a small envelope is required, the 4000 Series is the best option.
