  • the heat exchanger shown therein is of the shell and tube type, and comprises an outer casing or shell 10 whose ends are closed by respective end covers 11 (only one shown).
  • a plurality of tubes 12 are disposed within the shell 10 and are supported by means of tube plates 13 (again, only one shown).
  • Ports 14 and 15 in the shell respectively permit a first fluid to be passed through the interior of the shell 10 and a second fluid to be passed through the tubes 12 fox heat—exchange with the first fluid.
  • the end covers 11 and the tube plates 13 are fixed relative to the shell 10 by means of respective joint assemblies which will now be described with more particular reference to Figures 2 and 3.
  • Each of the joint assemblies comprises an inwardly directed recess 16 in the internal surface of the shell 10 which extends completely around the external periphery of the tube plate 13 or a cylindrical extension 17 of the end cover 11 which is received within the shell, as the case may be.
  • An outwardly directed recess 18 is provided in the tube plate 13 or the extension 17 and is disposed opposite the recess 16.
  • a flexible elongate member 19 is disposed between the shell 10 and the end cover 11 or the tube plate 13 and engages in both of the recesses 16 and 18 to retain these parts against separation. The member 19 is introduced into the recesses 16 and 18 through a passage 20 which extends tangentially from the recess 16 to the external surface of the shell 10.

  • the flexible elongate member 19 preferably takes the form of a ductile rod or a ductile tube, as shown. However, it is also possible for the membex 19 to be in the form of a helical spring.
  • the joint assembly is made by inserting the portion 17 of the end cover 11 ox the tube plate 13, as the case may be, into the shell 10 until the recesses 16 and 18 come into mutual alignment. In the case of the end cap 11, this will pccur when it abuts against the end of the casing 10, as illustrated in Figure 2.
  • One end of the member 19 is then inserted through the passage 20 and into the recesses 16 and 18, the flexible nature of the member 19 permitting it to be slid readily into place until its leading end abuts against its tail end, as shown in Figure 3.
  • the member 19 is then retained in position by screwing the plug 21 into the passage 20. To extract the member 19, the plug 21 is removed and a suitable extractor tool is inserted into the passage 20 to grip the tail end of the membex 19.
  • the extractor tool has screw- threading thereon and is simply screwed into the tail end of the member 19, this being possible because the coils of the spring form screw—threading on the interior of the member 19.
  • Such a helical spring can easily be extracted because the greater the removal pressure applied by the extractor tool, the greater the stretch of the spring and the smaller the diameter thereof. In the limiting case, the spring will be reduced to a length of straight wire.
