  • Patent number: 5871045
    Abstract: A heat exchanger has a container with an outer mantle and pipes positioned in the container for conveying a heat-receiving medium through the container. The heat-transferring medium flows exterior to the pipes in counter flow to the heat-receiving medium in the pipes. A common inlet tube is connected to the container and communicates with the pipes for introducing the heat-receiving medium. A common outlet tube is connected to the container and communicates with the pipes for removing the heat-receiving medium from the pipes. The pipes extend meander-shaped within the container. The common inlet tube penetrates the outer mantle on opposite sides and has an inflow end and a remote end. The inflow end is pressure-tightly connected to the outer mantle. The common outlet tube penetrates the outer mantle on opposite sides and has an outflow end and a remote end. The outflow end is pressure-tightly connected to the outer mantle.
