Abstract

A heat exchanger is disclosed for condensing a vapour to a condensate. The exchanger comprises a first heat exchanging chamber, a second heat exchanging chamber and an array of heat pipes which are arranged to extend from within the first heat exchanging chamber to within the second heat exchanging chamber. The first heat exchanging chamber comprises an inlet for receiving a coolant into the chamber and an outlet through which the coolant can exit the first chamber, the coolant being arranged to pass over the portion of the heat pipes which extend within the first chamber. The second heat exchanging chamber comprises an inlet for receiving the vapour into the chamber and an outlet through which the condensate can exit the second chamber, the vapour being arranged to pass over the portion of the heat pipes which extend within the second chamber. The heat exchanger further comprises a fin arranged in contact with the portion of at least one of the heat pipes within the first heat exchanging chamber, which is arranged to increase thermal transfer between said portion of the heat pipe and the coolant.
