A heat exchanger and process for constructing the heat exchanger with the heat exchanger including a plurality of tubes which are to be traversed by two fluid media to be heat exchanged with each other with each tube having a tube end for the entrance of the respective fluid medium and a tube end for the exit of the respective fluid medium. The tubes are juxtaposed so that at each end of the heat exchanger, the tube ends of the tubes to be traversed by one fluid medium project in an axial direction beyond the other tube ends of the remaining tubes located at this end of the heat exchanger. The tube ends of the tubes to be traversed by one of the fluid media which project beyond the other tube ends of the remaining tubes are combined into a bundle at each end of the heat exchanger. At least some of the components of the heat exchanger are shaped from a deformable starting material containing one of two starting compounds of a ceramic substance with the starting compound contained in the starting material being caused to react with the other starting compound so as to convert the starting material of the components into a ceramic substance.
A heat exchanger which includes a plurality of juxtaposed parallel tubes for the purpose of effecting a heat exchanger when the tubes are traversed by two fluid media between which the heat exchange is to be effected, each tube having a tube end for an entrance of a respective fluid medium and a tube end for an exit of a respective fluid medium, characterized in that at each end of the heat exchanger the tube ends of the tubes to be traversed by one of the fluid media project in an axial direction beyond the tube ends of the other remaining tubes at that end of the heat exchanger and are combined into a bundle in the manner of a bottleneck wherein the tube ends of the bundle contact one another.
A process for the production of a heat exchanger which includes a plurality of parallel tubes which are to be traversed by two fluid media to be heat exchanged with each other, each tube having a tube end for an entrance of a respective fluid medium and a tube end for an exit of a respective fluid medium, characterized by juxtaposing the tubes so that at each end of the heat exchanger the tube ends of the tubes to be traversed by one of the fluid media project in an axial direction beyond tube ends of the other remaining tubes located at that end of the heat exchanger, and at each end of the heat exchanger combining the projecting tube ends into a bundle in the manner of a bottleneck so that the tube ends of the bundle contact one another.
