'Ihepresent form of the device contemplates the assembly of any number of sections l, 2 and 3 which may be made to one or more standard constructions adaptable for connection in series as shown, using a standard form of construction for each end section 4 and 5, adaptable for connection to the ends of the sections l and 3 respectively, to form the heat exchanger assembly.
The present device is a water-tube type heat exchanger with straight tubes which operate at pressures below atmosphere and are, therefore, subject to external pressures. The water-tube type exchanger is especially suitable for cooling gases at high temperatures above 2000 F.

Another feature is the use of the water wall for protection against high temperatures as well as further reinforcement of the wall structure so it may be made of very thin material, the headers for the tubes of this water wall being placed in the lowtemperature end of the heat exchanger, and the possible use of refractory material, if desired, between the water wall and the inner walls 8 and 9.
Coolant, for example water, patterns established in use of the heat exchanger shown are as follows: The water wall [6 obtains its supply through an inlet line 30 (Fig. 6) which is connected to manifold [8. After circulating through the tubes of the water wall H5, or in the illustrated case, the tubes of the three individual but connected water walls, the water enters manifold I'l nested with manifold I8 (Fig. 7), and discharges through outlet line 32.
Separate from the above described is the flow in the water jackets (Figs. 2 and 3). Here, water enters inlet 34 and flows to distributor 36 (Fig. 5) whence the water is delivered to the jackets of section 3 through suitable pipes. After passing through the jackets in the flow pattern shown by the direction arrows of Figs. 2 and 3, the jacket arrangement of parts may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as defined in the appended claims.
The invention described herein may be manufactured and used by or for the Government of 'the United States of America for governmental purposes without the payment of any royalties thereon or therefor.
What is claimed is:

In a heat exchanger, a plurality of heat exchange sections coupled together, each heat exchanger section comprising an inner wall arranged to define a central passage to conduct a hot fluid, the passage having open ends for through passage of hot fiuid, a first row of coolant carrying heat transfer conduits, each conduit being fastened at both of its ends to opposed portions of said wall, a second row of coolant carrying heat transfer conduits, each of which is fastened to other opposed portions of said wall,
said rows of conduits being arranged at substantially right angles to each other to thereby brace said wall against the forces of internal and external pressures, an outer wall surrounding said inner wall, means fixing said walls in spaced relationship to each other to define a jacket, said inner wall being provided with a plurality of apertures which are arranged to communicate the bores of said conduits with said jacket, an
. .inlet line connected to said jacket, an outlet line connected with said jacket and having a coupling thereon to connect with the inlet line of an adjacent section, a plurality of tubes arranged to constitute a water wall, said tubes being located interiorly of and parallel to said inner wall, and inlet and outlet means connected with and for said plurality of tubes.
2. The construction of claim 1 wherein said outlet means comprises a header located within said passage, and an outlet line connected to said header.
3. The construction of claim 2 wherein said inlet means comprises a second header connected to said tubes and provided with an inlet line, and said headers being nested with each other so as to transfer heat between each other, one of said headers extending entirely around the inner surface of a cross sectional part of said passage.
4. In a heat exchanger, a heat exchanger section comprising an inner wall arranged to define a central passage to conduct a hot fluid and having an inlet and an outlet end, a first row of coolant carrying heat transfer conduits, each conduit being fastened at both of its ends to opposed portions of said wall, a second row of at substantially right angles to each other to thereby brace said wall against theforces of internal and external pressures, an outer wall surrounding said inner wall, means fixing said walls in spaced relationship to each other to define a jacket, said inner wall being provided with a plurality of apertures which are arranged to communicate the bores of said conduits with said jacket, an inlet line connected to said jacket, an outlet line connected with said jacket, a plurality of tubes, each tube being U shaped and arranged within said inner wall adjacent to the inner surface thereof, said tubes constituting a water wall and having their ends located at the low temperature outlet end of said passage, means constituting an outlet for said tubes connected with one end of each tube, and means constituting an inlet for said tubes comprising a header located in said passage and connected to the other end of each tube.
