Abstract (en)
A heat exchanger comprising a generally tubular shell (12), a pair of end assemblies (14, 16) coupled to the axially opposed ends of the shell (12) and a plurality of multi-walled tubes (75) having inner and outer walls (57, 96) and extending axially between the end assemblies (14, 16). Each end assembly (14, 16) comprising a tube sheet (40, 42) for receiving an outer wall (96) of a tube (75) and a center flange (32, 34) for receiving an inner wall (57) of the tube (75). At least in one end assembly (14) the outer wall (96) and the inner wall (57) of each multi-walled tube (75) are supported by the tube sheet (40) and the center flange (32) with an axially movable relationship, respectively, the center flange (32, 34) is disposed in an axially spaced relationship to the tube sheet (40, 42), and sealing means are provided between the tube sheet (40, 42) and the center flange (32, 34) for sealing the outer wall (96) of each tube (75) in an axially movable relationship to the tube sheet (40, 42) and for sealing the inner wall (57) of each tube (75) in an axially movable relationship to the center flange (32, 34).
