ElfinBlock, in it's simplest form, is basically a multi-tube derivative of the standard Elfin design, but with multiple tubes bonded to each fin to form a block-matrix. ElfinBlock is manufactured using state-of-the-art CNC-controlled ElfinMaster machinery which results in a high-quality, yet competitively priced finished product. ElfinBlock is unique in many ways but one of the most important, as far as thermal performance and flexibility are concerned, is the ability to incorporate internal extended-surfaces within the base tube itself. Another unique capability is the use of exotic materials, for both the tubes and fins, such as Stainless Steel, Titanium, Hastelloy, Zirconium etc - no other product of this type can boast such a broad range of attributes.

Titan-Lite encompasses our automotive sport technologies for use in Oil Coolers, Radiators and Inter-Coolers for both track, road and off-road vehicles. All kinds of sporting sector are catered for including Formula One, Indy Racing League, Open Wheel Racing Series, C.A.R.T., Rally series, Le Mans, Touring Car, Nascar, Karting and Rally Cross, to name but a few. Optional Carbon-Fibre Tanks and Frames for both the serious racer and the kudos-conscious sports compact driver are also available.

The Elfinesse range of convection tubes is the first of it’s type to offer a truly unique range of finned heating tubes that are actually designed to be seen. The pleasing shapes and surface finishes available mean that the tubes need not be hidden away in expensive trenches or imposing radiator cabinets, but can be a feature in any room.

Finned tubes can be powder coated to either a British Standard or RAL colour to suit client specifications. Powder coating may be for corrosion protection or just for aesthetic purposes, enabling the heating system to compliment and enhance the overall appearance of the room.

Elfin Convektor tubes offer the lightest heat output but share the same rugged construction as Elfinesse tubes, and are primarily for perimeter heating in either cabinets or trenches. As a standard these tubes are manufactured with hard aluminium fins and copper tubes to be compatible with most plumbing systems.

VantageFin represents the ultimate high performance extended surface, benefiting from an average 20% increase in thermal performance over conventional ElfinBlock. What more needs to be said?

Flexibility was one of the primary goals when ElfinBlock was developed and this is demonstrated by the ability to use non-round tube profiles/shapes. ElfinBlock can therefore be produced with oval tubes with dimensions from 3mm x 1mm up to 150mm x 50mm - limited only by the availability of the tube profile and material required.

The most basic form of the Elfin design is based on individually finned tubes consisting of inter-locking, self-spacing precision formed fins. Elfin is visually comparable in many ways to the common ribbon-wound L-Fin product, but that is where the similarities end. For example, one of the most important differences between Elfin and common tension-wound fin types such as L-Fin and LL-Fin is that Elfin cannot become 'unwound', i.e. if the tension-wound strip is 'broken' at any point along it's length, due to corrosion or impact damage for example, the tension is lost and the heat transfer properties of the tube are drastically impaired.
