<p>A heat exchanging assembly for use in a gas compressor or the like. The heat exchanging assembly comprises a housing, and means defining an annular heat exchanger confined therein. The heat exchanger has a central, through-traversing pipe for admitting gas therethrough into the housing. Provision is also made for discharging gas from the housing through the heat exchanger. The improvement comprises a generally cupshaped closure head at one end of the housing, the said one end of the housing and closure head having mating, interfacing flanges. The interfacing flanges are separably fastened together. The closure head has a conduit in penetration thereof. The conduit opens at one end thereof externally of the closure head, and opens internally of the closure head in communication with the through-traversing pipe. The housing is also open-ended at the end thereof opposite the said one end. The said opposite end of the housing has an external coupling flange formed thereon. The one end of the conduit also has an external coupling flange formed thereon. The conduit cooperates with the closure head to define an annular chamber within the closure head. The conduit further includes a gas discharge pipe opening at one end thereof through the closure head and onto the annular chamber therewithin, and opening at the other end thereof externally of the closure head. The other end of the gas discharge pipe has an external coupling flange formed thereon.</p> |
