Heat exchange apparatus and method of use

A heat exchange apparatus comprising:

• a pipe defined by an inner boundary and an outer boundary, the pipe including:
• a hollow core defined by the inner boundary and having a core center;
• a support portion on the outer boundary, the support portion having a support center and a support length defined by a cumulative distance the support portion extends laterally on either side of the support center;
• a generally planar conduction portion formed generally tangentially on the outer boundary generally opposite the support portion and extending generally laterally of the pipe, the conduction portion having a conduction center and a conduction length defined by a cumulative distance the conduction portion extends generally laterally on either side of the conduction center, the conduction length being greater than the support length;
• and
• wherein the pipe has a vertical axis extending generally through the core center when viewed in cross section and wherein each of the support, core and conduction centers are displaced from and generally aligned with one another along the vertical axis;
• and
• wherein the support portion is configured to mount the unitary pipe within a metallurgy furnace such that the conduction portion is disposed facing inwardly toward the operating portion of the furnace and the support portion is disposed facing outwardly away from the operating portion of the furnace.
