  • Apparatus for making a barrel type fluid heat exchanger
    Patent number: 5228191
    Abstract: An apparatus for manufacturing a fluid flow cartridge for circulating a second fluid in heat transfer relationship with a first fluid includes first and second racks and a drive to reciprocate the first and second racks in relation to each other.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 27, 1992
    Date of Patent: July 20, 1993
    Inventor: Richard Casterline
  • Barrel type fluid heat exchanger and means and technique for making the same
    Patent number: 5121791
    Abstract: The barrel assembly of the heat exchanger is manufactured with abutment joints between the housing and the headers thereof, and is clamped together along the axis of the assembly by a rod extending through the respective headers, and the housing, parallel to the axis, so that the housing is not vulnerable to "blowing its ends" when under pressure. The housing is also free draining at the discharge header when relieved of pressure, and this combination of features is made possible in part by the use of an insertable fluid flow cartridge for the housing which provides the tubing for one of the fluids and baffling for the other fluid when the latter fluid is circulated through the housing.
