Abstract
A device for positioning within the interior of a conduit for enhancing heat transfer between the conduit and an enclosed flowing coolant fluid comprised of a longitudinal member having a plurality of protuberances for generating turbulent flow within the conduit with the longitudinal member being resiliently secured within the conduit such that the force of the fluid flow will not displace the member. Design of the device is such that installation or removal from a tube may be easily accomplished by merely sliding the device in or out of the tube.
