Abstract
The heat exchanger comprises a support frame, a feed line, a header for forward flow, heat exchange tubes, a header for the return flow and a discharge line for the heat exchange medium. The heat exchange tubes are here helical capillary tubes. They are fixed interlocking one another by means of connecting elements. The ends of the heat exchange capillaries lead into the forward flow header and into the return flow header for the heat exchange medium.
Claims8
A heat exchanger, comprising a support frame and a feed line, a header for the forward flow, heat exchange tubes, a header for the return flow and a discharge line for a heat exchange medium, the heat exchange tubes including a plurality of individual helical capillary tubes (3) each extending between the forward flow header (2) and the return flow header (4), the axis of the helix of each tube being parallel and spaced apart from the axis of an adjacent tube and a plurality of spaced apart connecting elements (6) each interlocking an adjacent pair of capillary tubes.
