Abstract
A core for use in a heat exchanger including a tube of heat conductive material and a tape of heat conductive material wrapped around the tube. The tape has a base extending completely about the periphery of the tube in abutment therewith and a plurality of spines extending generally radially from the base in fanned relation over an arc length in the range of about 180.degree.-220.degree.. The tube is essentially free of the spines along a longitudinally extending area having an arc length in the range of approximately 180.degree.-140.degree..
