Abstract (en)
[origin: WO2012027098A2] A heat exchanger includes a plurality of tubes, each tube configured for a flow of fluid therethrough and one or more fins located between adjacent tubes of the plurality of tubes. The one or more fins are spaced by a fin pitch (FP) and are configured to improve thermal energy transfer between the plurality of tubes and ambient air. Each fin includes a fin face extending between the adjacent tubes, a substantially planar fin cap connected to the fin face secured to one or the tubes, and a fin radius (RC) connecting the fin face to the fin cap such that the fin radius is reduced to promote condensate removal from the heat exchanger.
