Heat exchanger modules and method of manufacturing |
(57) A new method of manufacturing of heat exchangers, and more particularly a method
of producing completely integrated heat exchanging modules of variable size and capacity,
and heat exchangers provided by such method is disclosed. The method comprises steps
of providing a hollow shape (2) comprising a tube (21) with one or more voids, longitudinally
extending fins (22) projecting from the tube surface, partial removal of fins and
bending of the tube in areas free of fins providing a meander-like loop for heat exchanging
medium and a multiplicity of convection chambers (24). The heat exchanging module
(2) is also provided with apertures (25,26) constituting inlets and outlets for transverse
circulation of heat exchanging media.
