[0033] Further, the fin is subjected to appearance treatment, which is not limited to electrophoresis and the like, so that the outer surface of the finned tube 1 is black, and radiation heat of the environment space can be maximally absorbed.
[0034] Further, the finned tube 1 is arranged in a manner that the finned tube 1 is laid on the top of the environment space, which is the best, and can form uniform sinking convection heat exchange; when the top of the environment space is limited, the finned tube 1 can also be arranged vertically at the middle upper part close to the outer wall, but a flow guide plate needs to be added to force the air to form upward and downward natural convection; when multiple rows of finned tubes 1 are arranged, the horizontal spacing of the finned tube 1 to the outer diameter of the finned tube 1 needs to be determined according to the temperature difference, the ratio is between 2 and 3, a vertical flow channel is formed, and a larger circulating power and fin surface turbulence are ensured.
