Abstract
An improved insert for a vertical tube condenser comprising a trunk having a plurality of upward extending branches of different lengths formed to have a dense uniform pattern of pick-off points over the tube surface so as to effectively pick-off, by capillary action, the great part of the condensate and to maintain a relatively thin average thickness of condensate on the surface.
