Abstract
A heat exchanger with a connection that connects an uncooled pipe to several cooled pipes. The connection (3) has a cylindrical intake section that communicates with the uncooled pipe (2) and merges into an outward-tapering terminating section (9. The terminating section encloses several gas-conveying channels. Each gas-conveying channel extends out of the intake section coaxial to one of the cooled pipes (4). The gas-conveying channels (10) branch out in the shape of a star from the connection's intake section (8). The cooled pipes are inserted into a base (6) and arrayed along a segment of a circle. The gas-conveying channels are arrayed along the same segment.
Claims7
A heat exchanger with a connection connecting an uncooled pipe to a plurality of cooled pipes, comprising:
- a cylindrical intake section on said connection and communicating with the uncooled pipe, said cylindrical intake section merging into an outward-tapering terminating section;
- a plurality of gas-conveying channels enclosed by said terminating section, each of said gas-conveying channels extending out of said intake section coaxial to one of said cooled pipes, said gas-conveying channels branching out from said intake section;
- a base, said cooled pipes inserted into said base and arranged along a segment of a circle, said gas-conveying channels being arrayed along the same segment;
- and a single cylindrical outer jacket enclosing all said cooled pipes.
