Abstract

See full text

The heat exchanger comprises a heat exchanger body defining an exit plenum chamber shaped for uniform flow of a hot primary heat transfer fluid through the chamber. A plurality of adjacent heat transfer members are connected to the heat exchanger body define a plurality of flow passages between the heat transfer members and open into the exit plenum chamber. Spacing of the heat transfer members by a predetermined distance evenly distributes flow of the primary heat transfer fluid through the flow passages, across the surfaces of the heat transfer members and into the exit plenum chamber. Heat transfer occurs from the hot primary heat transfer fluid to the cooler secondary heat transfer fluid as the primary heat transfer fluid flows through the chamber and as the secondary heat transfer fluid simultaneously flows through the flow channel of each heat transfer member.
