Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0867680A1] The heat exchanger consists of first and second tube panels (3A, 3B) suspended inside a housing, set opposite one another in a vertical plane and connected to external inlet manifolds (4A, 4B) and a common internal outlet manifold (5). Each of the panels has a first series of tubes (31) which extend horizontally in the lower part of the housing from the inlet manifolds, and a second series (32) extending vertically upwards from the first, and a third series (34) of angled tubes which are connected to the second and extend upwards from the middle of the housing to the top, where the outlet manifold (5) is located.
