Definitions
- the invention relates to a heat exchanger, in particular for systems operated with large load and / or temperature changes, for example as cooling air coolers for gas turbines, with pipes for separating the heat-emitting medium, in particular air, and the heat-absorbing medium, in particular water, the heat exchange taking place in countercurrent , which are arranged as flow channels for the heat-absorbing medium pipes running in a meandering shape between an inlet manifold and an outlet manifold and the heat-emitting medium flows around these meandering pipes.
- the cooling of gas turbine blades usually takes place by means of an air flow, which is often branched off from the compressed combustion air for the gas turbine combustion chamber as a partial air flow.
- the heat supplied during the compression of this partial air flow must be extracted from the air flow in a cooling air cooler before being fed to the gas turbine blades. Due to frequent starting and stopping as well as the high pressure and temperature differences, this heat exchanger is exposed to extreme alternating loads, which can lead to premature failure of the heat exchanger.
- a cooling air cooler of the type described in the opening paragraph is known from EP-OS 0 203 445.
- the inlet and outlet manifolds are rigidly connected to the clean gas inlet and clean gas outlet lines, so that alternating load voltages can only be insufficiently compensated.
- Another cooling air cooler for gas turbines is known from DE-OS 41 42 375.5.
- massive tube plates serve to separate the air-filled chambers from a space filled with the heat-absorbing medium.
- the air to be cooled is passed through pipes which connect the two solid pipe plates arranged at the upper and lower ends of the heat exchanger and are rigidly fixed in them.
- one of the solid tube plates is formed by one-sided clamping in such a way that it can compensate for pressure and temperature stresses to a certain extent.
- the outer jacket of the heat exchanger is equipped with bellows expansion joints to dampen length changes.
- the object of the invention is to further develop a heat exchanger of the type mentioned at the outset in such a way that it reliably and reliably compensates for the frequent and rapid load changes and the associated pressure and temperature fluctuations and, moreover, is inexpensive to manufacture.
- the invention proposes that the collecting tubes penetrate an outer jacket of the heat exchanger on both sides, the collecting tubes being connected pressure-tight to the outer jacket on the inlet and outlet sides and being guided at the opposite end into a receiving space connected to the outer jacket in a pressure-tight manner.
- This elastic mounting of the header pipes enables additional compensation of the load alternating voltages that occur, since the header pipes are not fixed at least on one side in the outer jacket of the Heat exchanger are clamped. Instead, the manifolds can expand into the receiving space. Such an expansion in the transverse direction of the heat exchanger does not cause any additional stresses in these tubes due to the elastic arrangement of the heat exchanger tubes.
- Due to the passage of the header pipes through the outer jacket of the heat exchanger it is possible that in the event of pipe leaks, plugging or blinding of individual heat exchanger pipes from the outside is possible in a simple manner.
- the flow channels for the heat-absorbing medium as meandering heat exchanger tubes arranged between two header tubes, compensation of the pressure and temperature fluctuations that occur can be achieved in a particularly simple and effective manner, since the meandering coil bundle acts as a whole as a large spring.
- the back and forth heat exchanger tubes can absorb the occurring load changes without the risk of impermissibly high voltage conditions.
- the meandering tubes are surrounded by an inner housing which is open at the end and connected on the inlet side to the inlet connector for the heat-emitting medium and which forms a flow channel for the heat-emitting medium.
- an inner housing which is open at the end and connected on the inlet side to the inlet connector for the heat-emitting medium and which forms a flow channel for the heat-emitting medium.
- a circumferential space is formed between the outer jacket of the heat exchanger and the inner housing enclosing the pipes and the outlet connection for the heat emitting Medium is arranged near the outlet manifold. The formation of the space between the outer jacket and the housing prevents direct heat conduction to the outer jacket of the heat exchanger.
- This insulation of the outer jacket against the high inlet temperatures of the Medium to be cooled can be strengthened in that the outlet connection is arranged near the outlet manifold and thus also close to the inlet connection for the heat-emitting medium, so that the medium cooled by the flow along the heat exchanger tubes before leaving the heat exchanger covers the entire space between the housing and must flow through the outer jacket, which in turn contributes to the insulation of the outer jacket.
- the surfaces in contact with the heat-emitting medium are made of austenitic steels.
- the heat exchanger can be operated with water as the heat-absorbing medium as a preheater, evaporator, superheater, preheater with evaporator, evaporator with superheater or preheater with evaporator and superheater. Because of the various possibilities with which the heat exchanger according to the invention can be operated, it can be used in a variety of ways, depending on the respective pressure and temperature conditions, without having to change over.
- FIG. 1 and 2 schematically show a heat exchanger 1, consisting of a welded outer jacket 2 with an inlet connector 3 and an outlet connector 4 for the heat-emitting medium and an inlet header 5 and an outlet header pipe 6 for the heat-absorbing medium, the inlet header pipe 5 and the outlet header pipe 6 being connected to one another via meandering pipes 7.
- these tubes 7 are surrounded in the axial direction by a housing 8 which is open at both ends and connected to the inlet connector 3 on the inlet side.
- the arrows shown in FIG. 2 illustrate the flow pattern of the heat-emitting and heat-absorbing medium in the heat exchanger 1.
- the heat-emitting medium flows through the inlet connection 3 into the heat exchanger 1 and is through the housing 8, which forms a flow channel for the heat-emitting medium, guided from top to bottom along the tubes 7, which are filled with a heat-absorbing medium and flow from bottom to top.
- the now cooled medium is deflected in the illustrated embodiment through a bottom 9 of the heat exchanger 1 and flows into an intermediate space 10 formed between the outer jacket 2 of the heat exchanger 1 and the housing 8 before the medium passes over the heat exchanger 1 leaves the outlet port 4 again.
- the outlet port 4 is arranged in the illustrated embodiment near the outlet manifold 6, so that the cooled medium flows as far as possible along the entire axial extent of the outer shell 2 and thus insulates it from the heat of the uncooled inflowing heat-emitting medium.
- the heat-absorbing medium in particular water, flows through the inlet manifold 5 into the heat exchanger 1 and flows from the bottom upwards through the meandering tubes 7 before it flows out of the heat exchanger 1 again after entering the outlet manifold 6.
- the heat-emitting and the heat-absorbing medium are led to the particularly effective heat exchange in cross-countercurrent.
- both the inlet and outlet manifolds 5, 6 and the thin-walled tubes 7 connecting the manifolds 5, 6 are elastically suspended and the manifolds 5, 6 are thin-walled compared to the tube plates known from the prior art.
- the elastic suspension of the inlet manifold 5 and the outlet manifold 6 is that the manifolds penetrate the outer jacket 2 of the heat exchanger 1 on both sides, the manifolds 5, 6 being pressure-tightly connected to the outer jacket 2 on the inlet and outlet sides and at the opposite end are guided in a pressure-tight connection with the outer casing 2.
- This elastic integration of the collecting tubes 5, 6 into the outer jacket 2 of the heat exchanger 1 enables the collecting tubes 5, 6 to compensate for the stresses that occur during the load changes that occur.
- the pipes 7 are arranged in a meandering manner between the inlet manifold 5 and the outlet manifold 6, so that the entire bundle of tubes 7 is designed to be resilient overall and can thus effectively compensate for the stresses that occur.

Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft einen Wärmetauscher, insbesondere für mit großen Last- und/oder Temperaturwechseln betriebene Anlagen, beispielsweise als Kühlluftkühler für Gasturbinen, mit Rohren zur Trennung des wärmeabgebenden Mediums, insbesondere Luft, und des wärmeaufnehmenden Mediums, insbesondere Wasser, wobei der Wärmeaustausch im Gegenstrom erfolgt, die als Strömungskanäle für das wärmeaufnehmende Medium dienenden Rohre mäanderförmig verlaufend zwischen einem Einlaß-Sammelrohr und einem Auslaß-Sammelrohr angeordnet sind und das wärmeabgebende Medium diese mäanderförmig verlaufenden Rohre umströmt.The invention relates to a heat exchanger, in particular for systems operated with large load and / or temperature changes, for example as cooling air coolers for gas turbines, with pipes for separating the heat-emitting medium, in particular air, and the heat-absorbing medium, in particular water, the heat exchange taking place in countercurrent , which are arranged as flow channels for the heat-absorbing medium pipes running in a meandering shape between an inlet manifold and an outlet manifold and the heat-emitting medium flows around these meandering pipes.
Die Kühlung von Gasturbinenschaufeln erfolgt üblicherweise mittels eines Luftstroms, welcher häufig von der komprimierten Verbrennungsluft für die Gasturbinenbrennkammer als Teilluftstrom abgezweigt wird. Die bei der Kompression auch diesem Teilluftstrom zugeführte Wärme muß dem Luftstrom vor dem Zuleiten zu den Gasturbinenschaufeln in einem Kühlluftkühler wieder entzogen werden. Durch häufiges Anfahren und Abfahren sowie aufgrund der hohen Druck- und Temperaturunterschiede wird dieser Wärmetauscher extremen Wechselbelastungen ausgesetzt, welche zum vorzeitigen Versagen des Wärmetauschers führen können. Ein Kühlluftkühler der eingangs beschriebenen Art ist aus der EP-OS 0 203 445 bekannt. Bei diesem gattungsbildenden Wärmetauscher sind die Einlaß- und Auslaß-Sammelrohre starr mit den Reingas-Eintritts- bzw. Reingas-Austrittsleitungen verbunden, so daß Lastwechselspannungen nur unzureichend kompensiert werden können.The cooling of gas turbine blades usually takes place by means of an air flow, which is often branched off from the compressed combustion air for the gas turbine combustion chamber as a partial air flow. The heat supplied during the compression of this partial air flow must be extracted from the air flow in a cooling air cooler before being fed to the gas turbine blades. Due to frequent starting and stopping as well as the high pressure and temperature differences, this heat exchanger is exposed to extreme alternating loads, which can lead to premature failure of the heat exchanger. A cooling air cooler of the type described in the opening paragraph is known from EP-OS 0 203 445. In this generic heat exchanger, the inlet and outlet manifolds are rigidly connected to the clean gas inlet and clean gas outlet lines, so that alternating load voltages can only be insufficiently compensated.
Ein weiterer Kühlluftkühler für Gasturbinen ist aus der DE-OS 41 42 375.5 bekannt. Bei diesem bekannten Wärmetauscher dienen massive Rohrplatten zum Abteilen der luftgefüllten Kammern von einem mit dem wärmeaufnehmenden Medium gefüllten Raum. Die abzukühlende Luft wird durch Rohre geleitet, die die beiden, am oberen und unteren Ende des Wärmetauschers angeordneten massiven Rohrplatten miteinander verbinden und starr in diesen fixiert sind. Zur Kompensation der auftretenden Druck- und Temperaturspannungen ist bei diesem bekannten Wärmetauscher eine der massiven Rohrplatten durch einseitiges Einspannen so ausgebildet, daß sie Druck- und Temperaturspannungen in einem gewissen Maße kompensieren kann. Darüber hinaus ist der äußere Mantel des Wärmetauschers mit Balgkompensatoren zur Dämpfung auftretender Längenänderungen ausgestattet. Zwar erlaubt dieser bekannte Wärmetauscher eine gewisse Kompensation der bei den häufigen und schnellen Lastwechseln auftretenden Druck- und Temperaturschwankungen, jedoch verhindert die starre Einspannung der Wärmetauscherrohre zwischen den beiden massiven Rohrplatten eine effektive Dämpfung dieser Belastungen. Darüber hinaus ist die Verwendung der massiven Rohrplatten aufgrund deren hohen Gewichts und deren Unflexibilität gegenüber Temperaturspannungen nachteilig.Another cooling air cooler for gas turbines is known from DE-OS 41 42 375.5. In this known heat exchanger, massive tube plates serve to separate the air-filled chambers from a space filled with the heat-absorbing medium. The air to be cooled is passed through pipes which connect the two solid pipe plates arranged at the upper and lower ends of the heat exchanger and are rigidly fixed in them. To compensate for the pressure and temperature stresses that occur in this known heat exchanger, one of the solid tube plates is formed by one-sided clamping in such a way that it can compensate for pressure and temperature stresses to a certain extent. In addition, the outer jacket of the heat exchanger is equipped with bellows expansion joints to dampen length changes. Although this known heat exchanger allows a certain compensation for the pressure and temperature fluctuations that occur during frequent and rapid load changes, the rigid clamping of the heat exchanger tubes between the two solid tube plates prevents effective damping of these loads. In addition, the use of the solid tube plates is disadvantageous due to their high weight and their inflexibility to temperature stresses.
Davon ausgehend liegt der Erfindung die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen Wärmetauscher der Eingangs genannten Art derart weiterzubilden, daß er die auftretenden häufigen und schnellen Lastwechsel und damit verbundenen Druck- und Temperaturschwankungen sicher und zuverlässig kompensiert und darüber hinaus kostengünstig zu fertigen ist.Proceeding from this, the object of the invention is to further develop a heat exchanger of the type mentioned at the outset in such a way that it reliably and reliably compensates for the frequent and rapid load changes and the associated pressure and temperature fluctuations and, moreover, is inexpensive to manufacture.
Als technische Lösung dieser Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß vorgeschlagen, daß die Sammelrohre beidseitig einen Außenmantel des Wärmetauschers durchdringen, wobei die Sammelrohre einlaß- und auslaßseitig druckdicht mit dem Außenmantel verbunden sind und am gegenüberliegenden Ende in einen druckdicht mit dem Außenmantel verbundenen Aufnahmeraum geführt sind.As a technical solution to this problem, the invention proposes that the collecting tubes penetrate an outer jacket of the heat exchanger on both sides, the collecting tubes being connected pressure-tight to the outer jacket on the inlet and outlet sides and being guided at the opposite end into a receiving space connected to the outer jacket in a pressure-tight manner.
Durch diese elastische Lagerung der Sammelrohre wird eine zusätzliche Kompensierung der auftretenden Lastwechselspannungen ermöglicht, da die Sammelrohre zumindest einseitig nicht fest in dem Außenmantel des Wärmetauschers eingespannt sind. Statt dessen können sich die Sammelrohre in den Aufnahmeraum hinein ausdehnen. Eine solche Dehnung in Querrichtung des Wärmetauschers bewirkt aufgrund der elastischen Anordnung der Wärmetauscherrohre keine zusätzlichen Spannungen in diesen Rohren. Darüber hinaus besteht aufgrund des Durchführens der Sammelrohre durch den Außenmantel des Wärmetauschers die Möglichkeit, daß im Falle von Rohrundichtigkeiten ein Abstopfen bzw. Blindsetzen einzelner Wärmetauscherrohre von außen auf einfache Weise möglich ist. Durch das Ausbilden der Strömungskanäle für das wärmeaufnehmende Medium als mäanderförmig zwischen zwei Sammelrohren angeordnete Wärmetauscherrohre kann auf eine besonders einfache und effektive Art und Weise eine Kompensation der auftretenden Druck- und Temperaturschwankungen erreicht werden, da das mäanderförmig gewundene Rohrbündel insgesamt wie eine große Feder wirkt. Die hin- und herlaufenden Wärmetauscherrohre können so die auftretenden Lastwechsel ohne die Gefahr unzulässig hoher Spannungszustände aufnehmen.This elastic mounting of the header pipes enables additional compensation of the load alternating voltages that occur, since the header pipes are not fixed at least on one side in the outer jacket of the Heat exchanger are clamped. Instead, the manifolds can expand into the receiving space. Such an expansion in the transverse direction of the heat exchanger does not cause any additional stresses in these tubes due to the elastic arrangement of the heat exchanger tubes. In addition, due to the passage of the header pipes through the outer jacket of the heat exchanger, it is possible that in the event of pipe leaks, plugging or blinding of individual heat exchanger pipes from the outside is possible in a simple manner. By designing the flow channels for the heat-absorbing medium as meandering heat exchanger tubes arranged between two header tubes, compensation of the pressure and temperature fluctuations that occur can be achieved in a particularly simple and effective manner, since the meandering coil bundle acts as a whole as a large spring. The back and forth heat exchanger tubes can absorb the occurring load changes without the risk of impermissibly high voltage conditions.
Gemäß einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform der Erfindung sind die mäanderförmig verlaufenden Rohre von einem endseitig offenen und einlaßseitig mit dem Einlaßstutzen für das wärmeabgebende Medium verbundenen inneren Gehäuse umgeben, das einen Strömungskanal für das wärmeabgebende Medium bildet. Durch dieses innere Gehäuse wird der eintretende abzukühlende Strom zwangsweise entlang der mäanderförmig verlaufenden Wärmetauscherrohre geführt, so daß dieser abzukühlende Strom nicht an der Seite an den Wärmetauscherrohren vorbei direkt zum Auslaßstutzen strömen kann.According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, the meandering tubes are surrounded by an inner housing which is open at the end and connected on the inlet side to the inlet connector for the heat-emitting medium and which forms a flow channel for the heat-emitting medium. Through this inner housing, the incoming stream to be cooled is forcibly guided along the meandering heat exchanger tubes, so that this stream to be cooled cannot flow past the side of the heat exchanger tubes directly to the outlet connection.
Um zu ermöglichen, daß der Außenmantel des Wärmetauschers nicht in direktem Kontakt mit dem bis zu 500°C heißen abzukühlenden Medium kommt, ist zwischen dem Außenmantel des Wärmetauschers und dem inneren, die Rohre umschließenden Gehäuse ein umlaufender Zwischenraum ausgebildet ist und der Auslaßstutzen für das wärmeabgebende Medium nahe dem Auslaß-Sammelrohr angeordnet ist. Durch die Ausbildung des Zwischenraumes zwischen Außenmantel und Gehäuse wird eine direkte Wärmeleitung zum Außenmantel des Wärmetauschers hin verhindert. Diese Isolierung des Außenmantels gegenüber den hohen Eintrittstemperaturen des abzukühlenden Mediums kann dadurch verstärkt werden, daß der Auslaßstutzen nahe dem Auslaß-Sammelrohr und somit auch nahe dem Einlaßstutzen für das wärmeabgebende Medium angeordnet ist, so daß das durch die Strömung entlang der Wärmetauscherrohre abgekühlte Medium vor dem Austritt aus dem Wärmetauscher den gesamten Zwischenraum zwischen Gehäuse und Außenmantel durchströmen muß, was wiederum zur Isolierung des Außenmantels beiträgt.In order to ensure that the outer jacket of the heat exchanger does not come into direct contact with the medium to be cooled down to 500 ° C, a circumferential space is formed between the outer jacket of the heat exchanger and the inner housing enclosing the pipes and the outlet connection for the heat emitting Medium is arranged near the outlet manifold. The formation of the space between the outer jacket and the housing prevents direct heat conduction to the outer jacket of the heat exchanger. This insulation of the outer jacket against the high inlet temperatures of the Medium to be cooled can be strengthened in that the outlet connection is arranged near the outlet manifold and thus also close to the inlet connection for the heat-emitting medium, so that the medium cooled by the flow along the heat exchanger tubes before leaving the heat exchanger covers the entire space between the housing and must flow through the outer jacket, which in turn contributes to the insulation of the outer jacket.
Um eine gute Temperaturbeständigkeit zu gewährleisten und darüber hinaus sicherzustellen, daß das abzukühlende Medium keine Verunreinigungen erfährt, bestehen die mit dem wärmeabgebenden Medium in Kontakt stehenden Flächen aus austenitischen Stählen.In order to ensure good temperature resistance and also to ensure that the medium to be cooled is not contaminated, the surfaces in contact with the heat-emitting medium are made of austenitic steels.
Ein wesentlicher Aspekt der Erfindung ist es ferner, daß der Wärmetauscher mit Wasser als wärmeaufnehmendem Medium als Vorwärmer, Verdampfer, Überhitzer, Vorwärmer mit Verdampfer, Verdampfer mit Überhitzer oder Vorwärmer mit Verdampfer und Überhitzer betreibbar ist. Aufgrund dieser vielfältigen Möglichkeiten, mit denen der erfindungsgemäße Wärmetauscher betrieben werden kann, ist dieser in Abhängigkeit von den jeweiligen Druck- und Temperaturverhältnissen ohne Umrüsten vielseitig einsetzbar.It is also an essential aspect of the invention that the heat exchanger can be operated with water as the heat-absorbing medium as a preheater, evaporator, superheater, preheater with evaporator, evaporator with superheater or preheater with evaporator and superheater. Because of the various possibilities with which the heat exchanger according to the invention can be operated, it can be used in a variety of ways, depending on the respective pressure and temperature conditions, without having to change over.

Fig. 1 und 2 zeigen schematisch einen Wärmetauscher 1, bestehend aus einem geschweißten Außenmantel 2 mit einem Einlaßstutzen 3 sowie einem Auslaßstutzen 4 für das wärmeabgebende Medium sowie einem Einlaß-Sammelrohr 5 und einem Auslaß-Sammelrohr 6 für das wärmeaufnehmende Medium, wobei das Einlaß-Sammelrohr 5 und das Auslaß-Sammelrohr 6 über mäanderförmig verlaufende Rohre 7 miteinander verbunden sind.1 and 2 schematically show a
Um zu gewährleisten, daß das durch den Einlaßstutzen 3 einströmende abzukühlende Medium entlang den Wärmetauscherrohren 7 strömt, sind diese Rohre 7 in axialer Richtung von einem Gehäuse 8 umgeben, welches an beiden Enden offen und einlaßseitig mit dem Einlaßstutzen 3 verbunden ist. Die in Fig. 2 dargestellten Pfeile verdeutlichen den Strömungsverlauf des wärmeabgebenden und des wärmeaufnehmenden Mediums in dem Wärmetauscher 1. Das wärmeabgebende Medium strömt durch den Einlaßstutzen 3 in den Wärmetauscher 1 ein und wird durch das Gehäuse 8, welches einen Strömungskanal für das wärmeabgebende Medium bildet, von oben nach unten entlang den Rohren 7 geführt, die mit einem wärmeaufnehmenden Medium gefüllt von unten nach oben durchströmt werden. Nach dem Austritt aus dem Gehäuse 8 wird das nunmehr abgekühlte Medium bei dem dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel durch einen Boden 9 des Wärmetauschers 1 umgelenkt und strömt in einen zwischen dem Außenmantel 2 des Wärmetauschers 1 und dem Gehäuse 8 ausgebildeten Zwischenraum 10, bevor das Medium den Wärmetauscher 1 über den Auslaßstutzen 4 wieder verläßt. Der Auslaßstutzen 4 ist bei dem dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel nahe dem Auslaß-Sammelrohr 6 angeordnet, damit das abgekühlte Medium möglichst entlang der gesamten axialen Erstreckung des Außenmantels 2 entlangströmt und diesen somit gegen die Hitze des ungekühlten einströmenden wärmeabgebenden Mediums isoliert.In order to ensure that the medium to be cooled flowing in through the
Das wärmeaufnehmende Medium, insbesondere Wasser, strömt durch das Einlaß-Sammelrohr 5 in den Wärmetauscher 1 ein und durchfließt von unten nach oben die mäanderförmig verlaufenden Rohre 7, bevor es nach dem Eintritt in das Auslaß-Sammelrohr 6 wieder aus dem Wärmetauscher 1 hinausströmt. Durch diese dargestellte Schaltungsweise werden das wärmeabgebende und das Wärmeaufnehmende Medium zum besonders effektiven Wärmeaustausch im Kreuz-Gegenstrom geführt.The heat-absorbing medium, in particular water, flows through the
Da insbesondere beim Einsatz eines solchen Wärmetauschers 1 als Kühlluftkühler für Gasturbinen der Wärmetauscher 1 einer großen Zahl von Last- und/oder Temperaturwechseln unterliegt, ist es notwendig, daß der Wärmetauscher 1 sowie alle darin angeordneten Einbauten diese häufigen und schnellen Lastwechsel gut kompensieren können. Zu diesem Zweck sind sowohl die Einlaß- und Auslaß-Sammelrohre 5, 6 als auch die die Sammelrohre 5, 6 verbindenden dünnwandigen Rohre 7 elastisch aufgehängt und die Sammelrohre 5, 6 im Vergleich zu den aus dem Stand der Technik bekannten Rohrplatten dünnwandig ausgebildet.Since, in particular when using such a
Die elastische Aufhängung des Einlaß-Sammelrohrs 5 und des Auslaß-Sammelrohrs 6 besteht darin, daß die Sammelrohre beidseitig den Außenmantel 2 des Wärmetauschers 1 durchdringen, wobei die Sammelrohre 5, 6 einlaß- und auslaßseitig druckdicht mit dem Außenmantel 2 verbunden sind und am gegenüberliegenden Ende in einem druckdicht mit dem Außenmantel 2 verbundenen Aufnahmeraum 11 geführt sind. Durch diese elastische Einbindung der Sammelrohre 5, 6 in den Außenmantel 2 des Wärmetauschers 1 wird es den Sammelrohren 5, 6 ermöglicht, daß diese die bei den auftretenden Lastwechseln entstehenden Spannungen kompensieren können. Damit an den die Sammelrohre 5, 6 verbindenden Rohren 7 aufgrund der Lastwechsel sowie der elastischen Lagerung der Sammelrohre 5, 6 keine unzulässigen Spannungen auftreten können, sind die Rohre 7 zwischen dem Einlaß-Sammelrohr 5 und dem Auslaß-Sammelrohr 6 mäanderförmig angeordnet, so daß das gesamte Bündel der Rohre 7 insgesamt federelastisch ausgebildet ist und somit die auftretenden Spannungen effektiv kompensieren kann.The elastic suspension of the
