  • MONOCOQUE SHELL AND TUBE HEAT EXCHANGER
    Publication number: 20230108485
    Abstract: A heat exchanger with a monocoque structure transfers heat between a first fluid and a second fluid. The heat exchanger has a plurality of tubes through which the first fluid may flow in a direction, each of the plurality of tubes has a first mouth end, an opposing second mouth end and a waist region between the first mouth end and the second mouth end. The heat exchanger also has one or more intercomlected fluid challllels through which the second fluid may flow. the one or more fluid chamlels lay generally in a plane, the plurality of tubes and the one or more fluid channels interleave such that heat may be transferred between the plurality of tubes and the one or more fluid challllels, and the direction of flow of the first fluid is generally perpendicular to the plane of the one or more fluid chamlels.

  • Monocoque shell and tube heat exchanger
    Patent number: 11525633
    Abstract: A heat exchanger with a monocoque structure transfers heat between a first fluid and a second fluid. The heat exchanger in has a plurality of tubes through which the first fluid may flow in a direction, each of the plurality of tubes has a first mouth end, an N opposing second mouth end and a waist region between the first mouth end and the second mouth end. The heat exchanger also has one or more interconnected fluid channels through which the second fluid may flow, the one or more fluid channels lay generally in a plane, the plurality of tubes and the one or more fluid channels interleave such that heat may be transferred between the plurality of tubes and the one or more fluid channels, and the direction of flow of the first fluid is generally perpendicular to the plane of the one or more fluid channels.
