Abstract
A series of air-cooled, vertical condensing tubes extend upwardly from a horizontal header to which refrigerant vapor is supplied. The vapor flows upwardly from the header through the condensing tubes and forms, on the tubes' internal surfaces, condensate which then flows downwardly into the header and eventually through the header's outlet. With this arrangement, the customary top header is not needed.
