A heat exchanger comprises two components (50, 52) which are releasably secured together to define passages for receiving the pipes (76, 78) between which heat exchange is to take place. The components (50, 52) are made from a material with a high thermal conductivity, for example aluminium alloy, and are releasably secured together by screws (83). The heat exchanger also serves as a supporting device for the pipes (76, 78), one of the components (52) being fastened to a mounting surface (8) by bolts (81) and nuts (82). The two components may be pivoted one to the other. The heat exchanger is particularly useful in refrigeration equipment, for enabling heat exchange to take place between refrigerant flowing into and out of an evaporator. <IMAGE> |
