HIGHLY PRESSURE-RESISTANT COMPACT HEAT EXCHANGER, CONTAINER FOR OCCLUDING HYDROGEN, AND METHOD OF PRODUCING THEM

摘要

A novel highly pressure-resistant compact heat exchanger of plate type, in which fluid flow is improved. A large number of square metal plates (1) and metal corrugated fins (2) with substantially the same outer profile as the metal plates (1) are alternately layered and combined by brazing in a desired number of tiers. A high-pressure high-temperature fluid (A) is caused to flow in one passage (3) formed between a fin (2) and plates (1), and fluid (B), such as gas and liquid, that is to be heated by heat exchange is caused to flow in the other passage (4) facing the passage (3). The passages (3, 4) of heat exchanger bodies are individually connected to each other. An inlet opening and outlet opening for each fluid are formed on the outside of a heat exchanger body, and each of the passages runs from the inlet opening to the outlet opening without branching.
