Abstract

A heat exchange apparatus 10 for transferring heat from or to a section of pipe ‘P’ so as to cool or heat a media contained in and/or transported through the pipe. The apparatus comprises an inlet 18 receiving a heat exchange medium that is communicated to a plurality of circumferentially arranged and spaced ducts 19 defining elongate channels (20, fig 6), and an outlet 22 receiving the heat exchange medium from the channels. The channels are isolated from each other and define a plurality of distinct flow passages for the heat exchange medium. The apparatus may comprise a plurality of hemispherical body portions 14, 16 secured together by a securing arrangement 34 and bolts 40 through bores 38. The securing arrangement may be a ratchet strap 36, tie or clamp that may pass through a guide arrangement (144, fig 10) defining slots or one or more lips (246, fig 17). The channels may be part cylindrical or tubular and the heat exchange medium may be a refrigerant, nitrogen or carbon dioxide gas, liquid nitrogen, water or steam. Uses include heating solidified hydrocarbons in the pipe in the oil and gas industry and freezing media in the pipe to permit repairs.
