Abstract
A heat exchanger of the type having a tube assembly made up of a number of tubes through which a first medium flows and around and between which a second medium flows to accept heat from, or transfer heat to, the first medium. The first media is constrained by a baffle to follow a path through the heat exchanger. According to the disclosure, the baffle is flexible and acts as a flapper valve permitting the baffle to allow bypass flow of the first media to bypass the tube assembly of the heat exchanger. The baffle self-adjusts based on a pressure balance of the first medium, with the result that heat exchangers according to the invention are more versatile than conventional heat exchangers where the baffles are fixed to the tubes.
