Finned tubes are used in heat exchangers where the heat transfer coefficient is much higher on one side of the heat exchanger than the other. For general industry, these applications typically involve the heating or cooling of air or other gases.
The application of fins increases the heat transfer surface area in contact with the fluid with lower heat transfer coefficient.
