Abstract (en)

The tendency towards the disadvantageous phenomenon known as flooding in refluxing heat exchangers of the so-called plate-fin kind is reduced or avoided by providing at least some of the primary passages with means such as a surface extending downwardly from the bottom of the passage for lowering the droplet forming zone for any liquid flowing down the wall of the passage to a level at which droplet formation does not constrict the opening into the passage.
