Abstract (en)

A heat exchanger (4) for a gas boiler for producing hot water is provided with a casing (11) through which combustion fumes flow and which extends along an axis (A), and a pipe (12) along which water flows and which is arranged inside the casing (11) and coiled about the axis (A) so as to form a succession of turns (20); the pipe (12) has a cross-section (32) comprising at least one outwardly concave portion (33) and one outwardly convex portion (34) opposite the concave portion (33). Adjacent turns (20) face one another parallel to the axis (A) so that the concave portion (33) of one turn faces the convex portion (34) of the adjacent turn to delimit a channel (41) through which the combustion fumes flow, said channel (41) extending along a curved and/or non-rectilinear axis. Optionally, an outer surface (22) and/or an inner surface (23) of the pipe (12) are longitudinally grooved.
