Abstract: A tube wall made of tubes extending parallel to one another and horizontally to inclined, which are provided with opposite fins on the longitudinal edges of which adjacent tubes are welded gas-tight to one another. The fins are formed as a continuous band exceeding in width the outer diameter of the tube. The band is arranged tangentially on the outside of the tube and the bands, which are welded with each other, are suspendable on a supporting structure for assuming the forces resulting from the dead weight of the tube wall and from additional loads.

Abstract: An apparatus for suspension of a tube wall, particularly a combustion chamber wall, made for example of helical finned tubes which are welded gas-tight with one another extending horizontally or inclined, on an upper part of a steam generator made of vertical tubes, by means of vertically extending tie rods which are connected with the tube wall over welding bridges. Respectively pairs of tie rods which extend spaced by a small distance from one another are secured on the upper part of the steam generator by means of a common connection piece and are welded on their adjacent longitudinal edges over common welding bridges with the tube wall. The welding bridges are spaced from one another in the longitudinal direction of the tie rods.
