  • Spacer supports for tubes of a matrix of a heat exchanger
    Patent number: 5033542
    Abstract: A heat exchanger having a tube matrix formed by a plurality of heat exchange tubes in which a trelliswork consisting of flexible carrier strips is wound on the tubes such that the tubes serve as crossbars of the trelliswork. The trelliswork is supported at its opposite ends to the frame of the heat exchanger via stay bars to provide support against shock forces and to absorb gravitational and flow forces on the tubes.
