Abstract
A tube-in-shell heat exchanger wherein the tube bundle has a central spine which carries a series of bracing grids for the tubes. The grids are resiliently mounted on the spine so that differential thermal expansion of one group of tubes relative to other groups of tubes and structure can be accommodated without inducing severe thermal stress.
