摘要 |
The present invention provides a system and method that allows use of the same or similar material as the flow tubes for the supports and without requiring more expensive stainless or higher alloy supports. The disclosure provides one or more temperature moderated support tubes that allow the process fluid in the flow tubes to also pass through the support tubes. The benefit is that the process fluid moderates the temperature of the support tubes and hence the thermal expansion of the support tubes to be relatively consistent with the expansion of the flow tubes of the coil, and further benefits from additional heat transfer area using the support tubes. Thus, the support tubes can be made from the same or similar material as the flow tubes. The ledges/brackets could be also of the same material as the coil material.
