Abstract
A heat transfer surface for use in a flooded evaporator. In a preferred embodiment, a fibrous material is wrapped on the surface of a tubular heat exchange member so that the strands of material lie in spaced relation so as not to blanket the entire surface but rather to provide a good distribution of nucleation sites over the tube surface.
