The invention relates to refrigeration apparatus such a freezers, refrigerators and bottle/can coolers/chillers. A condenser is normally located on a rearmost side of a refrigeration apparatus. A number of problems have been found with prior art condensers. One problem is that of efficiency of heat transfer from the refrigerant material within a pipe to the atmosphere. The invention provides a condenser (5) for a refrigeration apparatus comprising a pipe (10) for containing a refrigerant, one or more adjacent portions (15) of the pipe (10) being connected by at least two baffles (20, 25). Each baffle (20, 25) comprises a plate formed so as to provide a plurality of recesses (30, 35), the recesses (30, 35) being spaced so as to receive respective spaced portions (15) of the pipe (10). Between and along adjacent recesses (30, 35) each baffle (20, 25) provides a plurality of walls (40, 45, 50, 55), adjacent walls being disposed in opposing directions relative to a plane extending between the recesses (30, 35). <MATH> |
