Abstract (en)

The present invention refers to a heat exchanger provided with modular headers. A heat exchanger, in particular of the finned-pack type, made according to the present invention comprises a plurality of tubes (1) that extend between a plurality of hollow interspaces (2); at least a header (4) comprising a support (5) provided with a plurality of first apertures (6) adapted to accommodate an extremity region (7, 8) of the tubes (1); and a cover (9) associated to said support (5). The heat exchanger is characterized in that each one of said support (5) and said cover (9) comprises a plurality of modular members (10, 18) that are removably associated to each other by means of conjugate surfaces (11a, 11b; 19a, 19b).
