Brazeless heat exchanger of the tube and shell type

摘要

A tube and shell heat exchanger of a brazeless type. A single header construction mounts tubes made for high efficiency heat transfer and supported for damage free operation. A removable mounting plate confines a tube and header core in a shell and is adapted for free mounting and for controlled inflow and outflow of the tube side and shell side fluids. By-passing flow of shell side fluid within the shell is obviated by a recessed mounting of the header allowing a standard spacing of the tube bundle relatively to shell interior wall surfaces.
