1. The fin is divided into two symmetrical half pieces. The tube wall is pressed down from both sides, and resistance welding is used to weld on the pipe wall with a certain gap left in the middle;
2. Two circular tubes can share a group of fins, called double tube H-shaped fins, or a single tube H-shaped fin can be placed in the middle;
3. The heat exchanger composed of H-type finned tubes is closely arranged and the tube bundles are arranged in order;
4. The fins are parallel and independent of each other, and there is no influence of helix angle, so it is easy to remove ash.
