Abstract: The present invention relates to a conversion set for a pipe bundle heat exchanger having a cylindrical housing. Using said conversion set, existing tube bundle heat exchangers can be changed over such that the efficiency and thus the heat transfer thereof is improved, large exchange surface areas are provided, and energy costs are reduced. The conversion set can also be used in high-pressure applications for pressures above 300 bar.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for connecting at least two heat exchanger plates so as to form a plate packet for a heat exchanger, said plate packet being provided with at least one passage defined by through holes in the heat exchanger plates. With the aid of this method, the heat exchanger plates are to be braced well to one another so that high-quality welding seams having a high strength can be produced. To this end, the invention suggests that two respective heat exchanger plates should be clamped together in the proximity of the edge of the future through hole, and that the respective heat exchanger plates should be welded to one another in pairs with at least one circumferentially extending welding seam marking the edge of the future through hole, the diameter of at least one circumferentially extending welding seam being at least as large as the diameter of the future through hole, and that the through hole should subsequently be cut out of the heat exchanger plates that have been welded together.
