Abstract

The compact tube and plate condenser with cooling fins is similar to a conventional compact tube and plate condenser, but with the addition of thermally conductive cooling fins for enhancing heat transfer with the external environment. The compact tube and plate condenser with cooling fins includes a serpentine tube mounted on a thermally conductive plate. The serpentine tube has opposed inlet and outlet ports for respectively receiving and outputting a refrigerant fluid. The compact tube and plate condenser is folded in a substantially spiral configuration. Additionally, a plurality of thermally conductive cooling fins are mounted on the thermally conductive plate. The serpentine tube, which is preferably formed from a thermally conductive material, the thermally conductive plate, and the additional thermally conductive cooling fins each effect heat exchange between the refrigerant fluid and the external environment.
