<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To improve an apparatus for combined heat transfer between a liquid and a heat-exchanging medium and static mixing of the liquid. <P>SOLUTION: The apparatus 1 includes internal fittings 2 inside a casing 3. The casing extends longitudinally between a head end 4 and a base end 5. The internal fittings form a heat-transfer and mixing structure. The heat-exchanging medium 7 is carried from the base end to the head end as an inner stream inside tubes 21, 22 of the internal fittings. The liquid 8 is carried from the head end to the base end as an outer stream. Reinforcing elements 6, 6', 6" which stabilize the internal fittings in the longitudinal direction with respect to pressure gradients produced by the liquid are installed. In a main region, the internal fittings are connected by the reinforcing elements to form a non-expandable part-structure 2a, and in a secondary region that is complementary to the main region, the internal fittings remain at least partially unreinforced, as a part-structure 2b which can expand in the longitudinal direction. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT |
