[0007] Furthermore, the outer fins include a first fin and a second fin, the height of the first fin along the radial direction of the tube body is greater than the height of the second fin along the radial direction of the tube body, and the first fin and the second fin are distributed on the outer surface of the tube body in rows and columns.

[0008] Furthermore, the height of the first fin is 0.7 mm to 1.5 mm, and the height of the second fin is 0.5 mm to 1.2 mm.

[0009] Furthermore, the adjacent second fins distributed in rows and columns on the outer surface of the tube body cooperate with the first fins on both sides of the second fins to form a drainage channel, and the drainage channel has a spiral direction.

[0010] Furthermore, the surface of the tube body and the outer surface of the outer fin are coated with a liquid-repellent coating.

[0011] Furthermore, the outer fins and the inner threaded ribs are integrally formed with the tube body.

[0012] Due to the application of the above technical solution, the utility model has the following advantages compared with the prior art:

[0013] The enhanced condensing heat exchange tube of the utility model can reduce the resistance to the flow of the heat exchange medium when the heat exchange medium flows in the groove between the fins by arranging the outer fins in a conical shape, accelerate the drainage speed of the condensate at the bottom of the groove, and improve the heat exchange effect of the condensing heat exchange tube.

[0014] Furthermore, by arranging the conical outer fins into a first fin and a second fin with a high and low interval, the retention effect of the surface tension on the droplets can be reduced, thereby accelerating the detachment of the condensed droplets. At the same time, the heat exchange area is effectively increased, effectively improving the heat transfer effect and increasing the heat transfer coefficient outside the condensation heat exchange tube.
