Foil for heat exchange equipment

Foil for heat exchange equipment

As aluminium foil is a great thermal conductor, it is also used in the production of heat exchangers whose purpose is to facilitate the transfer of heat from one system to another. Aluminium comes into play as it can be used in thin gauges and multiple layers, increasing the surface where heat dissipation occurs.
 
The most common applications for this type of foil are typically found in industrial heat exchangers, air conditioning, refrigerators and heat recovery ventilation units.
 
Symetal supplies foil for production of Fin-stock, Rotor and Plate heat exchangers.
