Abstract
The present invention relates to the improvements of the performance of an evapo-rator, specifically adapted for a natural convection system. The evaporator com-prises tubes (11) intended to contain a refrigerant to be evaporated. An apparatus (13) is arranged inside at least one of the tubes and comprises means (21) for disin-tegrating vapour bubbles (27') of a gaseous phase of the refrigerant inside the tube (11) during operation of the evaporator. Small vapour bubbles can much easier move through the liquid compared to big vapour bubbles, which easily get stuck in the tube thereby obstructing the movement of other vapour bubbles. Thus, by breaking up big bubbles into smaller bubbles the flow through the tubes (11) is in-creased as well as the heat emitting surfaces of the vapour bubbles (27').
