HEAT EXCHANGER COMPRISING BYPASS CHANNELS

摘要

The present invention pertains to a heat exchanger comprising a container (3) which comprises an inlet section (3a), an intermediate section (3b) which encloses a heat exchanger device (5), and an outlet section (3c) where the first medium is led away from the heat exchanger device (5). The heat exchanger device (5) has a peripheral surface which in at least two areas is located at a distance from an internal surface in the container (3), so that at least two bypass channels (6a-d) are formed for the first medium next to the heat exchanger device (5). The heat exchanger comprises at least flow elements (7a-d) adapted to regulate the flow of the first medium through the bypass channels (6a-d). Each one of said flow elements (7a-d) has a first end section which is jointedly connected to the heat exchanger device (5) and a second free end section which is located at a distance from the heat exchanger device (5).
