Abstract
A heat exchanger includes a packing comprising at least one external oblique fin having a surface, and a plurality of tubes, each tube having an inlet, an outlet, a wall, an outer surface, and an axis. The plurality of tubes are substantially parallel and separate from each other. The packing may include a plurality of fins arranged in a plurality of columns. Each column includes a plurality of external oblique fins associated with a respective tube disposed along at least part of a length of the respective tube, and first fins in a first column have substantially the same first orientation. The first orientation of the first fins in the first column is different from a second orientation of second fins in a second column.
