Abstract
Heat exchange apparatus comprises a generally cylindrical tank having an inlet port for entry of gas and an outlet port for exit of the gas after it is cooled, and an annular bundle of tubes disposed within the tank. The tank includes a cylindrical side wall or shell which encloses the tube bundle, and upper and lower annular manifolds for controlling flow through the tube interiors. The annular tube bundle has a generally cylindrical interior having a longitudinal axis parallel to that of the shell. The interior of the annular tube bundle defines an inner plenum which communicates with one of the ports. The annular tube bundle is radially offset from the center of the tank to define an eccentric outer plenum which communicates with the other port.
