R-fin is an exclusive patented design owned by LUVE
Benefits
- Increased mechanical resistance
- Long lasting performance thanks to longer lifecycle
- Reduced maintenance
- Pre-coated fins edge protected
- No risk of bridging when using pre-coated fins
- No thermal efficiency loss
- Laboratory tested effectiveness
Standard configuration
This solution is applicable to our Air-cooled Liquid Coolers such Alfa-V, Alfa Trafo, Alfa Genset, Alfa Reverse and others used in medium to high industrial environments, and is available with different fin types.
- Aluminum and industrial Aluminum fins (R-Al/R-IndAl)
- Increased mechanical resistance for protection against handling damage and climate events such as hailstorms, avoiding expensive coil protections. Suitable for dirty, abrasive air. Higher water pressure allowed for cleaning.
- Aluminum pre-coated fins (R-AlPrv)
- In addition to the advantages of uncoated aluminum, based on test results pre-coated R-fin shows a slightly better corrosion resistance behavior compared to the most common spray coatings with a 70% lower cost.
- Aluminum-Magnesium fins (R-AlMg)
- Increased mechanical resistance, suitable for abrasive air in industrial/coastal areas. Higher water pressure allowed for cleaning purposes compared to standard.
Test done have demonstrated an increased mechanical resistance +80% R-fin compared with the same fin type and material without this feature.
