<p>The barrel assembly of the heat exchanger is manufactured with abutment joints between the housing and the headers (34) thereof, and is clamped together along the axis of the assembly by rod (54) extending through the respective headers (34), and the housing, parallel to the axis, so that the housing is not vulnerable to 'blowing its ends' when under pressure. The housing is also free draining at the discharge header when relieved of pressure, and this combination of features is made possible in part by the use of an insertable fluid flow cartridge for the housing which provides the tubing for one of the fluids and baffling for the other fluid when the latter fluid is circulated through the housing.</p> |
