  • Publication number: 20240151473
    Abstract: In an example of the disclosure, a heat exchange and flame arrest device for use with a subject gas includes tubing arranged to traverse a core, with the tubing defining a cooling fluid pathway. The core includes a gas flow inlet, a set of cooling fins, and a gas flow outlet. The gas flow inlet, the set of cooling fins, and the gas flow outlet collectively form a gas flow pathway for a subject gas. Each cooling fin of the set is positioned to form a gap between that cooling fin and an adjacent cooling fin. The gas flow inlet is to receive the subject gas. The combination of the gap between each cooling fin of the set and the cooling capacity of the cooling fluid pathway is sufficient to, if the subject gas has ignited, lower temperature of the subject gas to below autoignition temperature.
