Patent number: 11079137Abstract: The invention relates to a condensation heat exchanger which comprises: —at least two concentric bundles (5, 5?) of tubes made from a material that is a good thermal conductor, inside which tubes a heat-transfer fluid is intended to circulate, each bundle of tubes (5, 5?) comprising a series of tubes (50, 50?) in the form of an arc of a circle, the tubes of each bundle (5, 5?) being arranged in parallel planes with a gap (53, 53?) between two adjacent tubes (50, 50?), —a single collector (6) made of a material that is a good conductor of heat and to which the two ends (51, 51?, 52, 52?) of each tube (50, 50?) of the various bundles (5, 5?) are connected, this collector (6) being equipped with inlet (61) and outlet (62) couplings. This exchanger is notable in that the collector (6) comprises several partitions delimiting various channels, which allow the fluid that is to be warmed up to be made to circulate in the various successive bundles from the outermost bundle to the innermost bundle.Type: GrantFiled: January 16, 2017Date of Patent: August 3, 2021Assignee: SERMETAInventor: Joseph Le Mer

Patent number: 10900692Abstract: A deflector for a condensation heat exchanger and to an exchanger provided with such a deflector. The deflector includes two front and rear cups with inner surfaces at the bottom designed in relief so as to have at least one circulation groove. The two cups are assembled on either side of a central partition so that each groove forms, with the partition, a channel in which a heat-transfer fluid is intended to circulate. The channels of the front and rear cups are connected via an opening bored into the central partition, so that the heat transfer fluid can circulate from an inlet coupling to an outlet coupling of the deflector, through the channels by flowing on either side of the central partition.Type: GrantFiled: February 8, 2017Date of Patent: January 26, 2021Assignee: SERMETAInventor: Joseph Le Mer
