Abstract
Radial support of a tube support plate is provided by two associated members which also permit the position of the tube support plate to be adjusted with significantly improved ease. The apparatus comprises a jacking member which extends radially through the heat exchanger's inner shell and is in positive contact with its outer shell. A locking screw extends radially inward from the jacking screw and is in contact with the tube support plate. After this apparatus is used to centrally locate the tube support plate, it is welded together and to the inner shell.
