Abstract
A heat exchanger particularly intended for condensing vapor from a gaseous stream in which there are provided fins so disposed that condensate forming on the fins drips onto one side only of the fins below it. This reduces the deleterious effect of the build-up of a liquid layer on fins which liquid layer reduces the thermal effectiveness of the fins.
