Abstract
A heat exchanger having two mainfold ducts extending in parallel, adjacent relation connected to each other by heat exchange tubes. The manifold ducts are formed by a plurality of duct segments axially aligned one after the other in sealed relation and a support frame is arranged externally of the manifold ducts and is secured to and supports the duct segments individually at one of their ends. Each duct segment is secured to the frame at one of its ends while its other end is guidably supported and allowed to axially expand and contract relative to the end of the adjacent duct segment. This provides favorable resistance to the loads developed during operation as well as simple dismantling of the heat exchanger.
