French term or phrase: surfaces de condensations

This relates to a oenology blurb about a new machine that does away with the need for "surfaces de condensations". I have having problems coming up with a term that sound English.
Thanks for any help offered.

condensation surfaces

Explanation:
Well, I'm no specialist here, but the term sounds logical enough to me, and Google did at least throw up 13 hits associating it (in the singular) with wine; seems even more common in non-wine fields too.
