Abstract
A heat exchange device comprising a liquid flow tube with an inner cylinder located interiorly of the tube and a turbulator arranged generally helically around the cylinder with edgewise adjacent fins in the form of separate tongues in which each fin is at an angle of about 100.degree.-110.degree. from the inner cylinder on which the turbulator is located. This angle is measured from the cylinder in the direction of flow of the liquid flowing through the tube. Adjacent edges of adjacent fins describe a divergent V from the cylinder toward the tube and thereby describe channels between adjacent fins for directing the liquid outwardly toward the tube.
