Heat exchanger

Abstract

A heat exchanger is disclosed. The heat exchanger comprises a first set of first conduits for conveying a first fluid, first conduits having a triangular cross-section portion; and a second set of second conduits for conveying a second fluid, the second conduits having a triangular cross-section portion, wherein adjacent first conduits are interspaced by an intervening second conduit. In this way, the conduits may be located closely together with a space-efficient configuration which helps to improve the exchange of heat between the first and second fluids while also providing a compact arrangement which minimises the amount of material used to construct the heat exchanger.
