Abstract

Wire-and-tube condenser, which is exposed to vibrations coming from the compressor, comprises a tubular coil (10) defining a plurality of rectilinear tubular sections (12) that extend parallel to each other, are fluidly joined to each other by curved portions (14) and are connected to each other by means of a plurality of rigid metal wires (16), which are welded in an orthogonal direction to both sides of said rectilinear tubular sections. <??>At least a portion of the tube coil (10) is provided with a further curved section (24), which is inserted, and held securely in place by press-fitting, between the wires (16) welded to the rectilinear tubular sections (12). <IMAGE>
