Heat exchanger of glass ceramic material - comprises flat layers of channels with bent inlet and outlet blocks

摘要

The heat exchanger has nonporous heat exchanger body of low thermal expansion. This heat exchanger can be made for example from glass ceramic materials. High efficiency is achieved by parallel and separate flow paths. The separate connection zones are readily connected to the two different fluids between which heat exchange takes place. The heat exchanger has several layers of parallel channels with inlets and outlets. The layers (30) for the first fluid alternate with those (40) for the second fluid. Each layer channel forms four sets of open ends for inlet and outlet of the first and second fluid. The end sections of the parallel pipes are bent so that inlets and outlets for separate media are separated and form independent inlet and outlet blocks. The crystalline ceramic material used has very low linear coefficient of thermal expansion.
