The heat exchanger comprises a structure comprising a rectangular frame, piping that is supported by the rectangular frame and completes at least one circumference around the rectangular frame, and a fan. The piping is supported to the frame on a series of moving supports. The piping comprises an inlet end and an outlet end, and the piping contains external cooling fins. The structure is sealed except for where the finned piping is located. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A heat exchanger for cooling particulate matter from a high-temperature industrial process or warming material from a cryogenic process, said heat exchanger comprising: (a) a structure comprising a rectangular frame; (b) piping that is supported by the rectangular frame and completes at least one circumference around the rectangular frame, wherein the piping is supported to the frame on a series of moving supports, and the piping comprises an inlet end and an outlet end, and the piping contains external cooling fins; and (c) one or more fans; wherein the structure is sealed except for where the piping is located. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The heat exchanger of claim 1, wherein the piping is arranged so that after one complete circumference of the frame, the outlet end of the piping is just above the inlet end of the piping. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The heat exchanger of claim 1, wherein the piping is arranged so that after one complete circumference of the frame, the outlet end of the piping is just below the inlet end of the piping. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The heat exchanger of claim 1, wherein at each corner of each piping circumference, the piping is connected with a pipe tee having one end sealed. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The heat exchanger of claim 1, wherein the one or more fans are centrally located on the structure above the piping. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The heat exchanger of claim 1, wherein the one or more fans are centrally located on the structure below the piping. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The heat exchanger of claim 1, wherein the particulate matter comprises catalysts and/or additives from a regenerator of a fluid catalytic cracking (FCC) process. ### Claim 8 (depends on 1) The heat exchanger of claim 1, wherein the material from the cryogenic process comprises a product of a pharmaceutical manufacturing process. ### Claim 9 (depends on 1) The heat exchanger of claim 1, wherein the particulate matter comprises catalysts and/or additives from a methanol conversion process. ### Claim 10 (depends on 1) The heat exchanger of claim 1, wherein the moving supports are spring hangers or sliding plates. ### Claim 11 (depends on 1) The heat exchanger of claim 1, wherein the heat exchanger is supported off the ground on one or more legs. ### Claim 12 (depends on 1) The heat exchanger of claim 1, wherein the outlet end of the piping is connected to one or more collection vessels. ### Claim 13 (depends on 1) The heat exchanger of claim 1, wherein the outlet end of the piping is connected to two or more collection vessels. ### Claim 14 (depends on 1) The heat exchanger of claim 1, wherein the rectangular frame is in the shape of a square.
