Title: Innovations of Heinrich Baumgaertner

Introduction

Heinrich Baumgaertner is a notable inventor based in Ketsch, Germany. He has made significant contributions to the field of heat exchange technology, particularly in high-temperature nuclear reactors. With a total of four patents to his name, Baumgaertner's work has had a profound impact on energy production and efficiency.

Latest Patents

One of his latest patents is a heat exchanger designed for the transmission of heat produced in high-temperature nuclear reactors. This innovative apparatus features a heat exchanger casing with multiple box members suspended within it. Each box member contains a series of tubular members arranged to facilitate the exchange of heat from a hot gas stream flowing outside the tubular members to a cooler gas stream flowing counter-currently within them. This design is particularly suited for use in high-temperature nuclear reactors, as it is positioned within a pod in the reactor pressure vessel that communicates directly with the reactor core. The suspension of the primary heat exchange components allows for excellent heat exchange capability while minimizing stress on the apparatus due to thermal expansion. Additionally, Baumgaertner has developed a method for transferring heat from a primary cooling circuit of a high-temperature reactor to an intermediate gas circuit of a heat process plant.
