Abstract
Spacer supports are connected to a matrix of heat exchange tubes of a heat exchanger to maintain the heat exchange tubes in spaced relation and resist overheating by hot fluid flowing around the tubes and the spacer supports. The spacer supports are in the form of hollow tubular bodies in which the heat exchange tubes are supported in spaced relation. The heat exchange tubes communicate with the interior of the hollow bodies so that flow of a heatable fluid in the heat exchange tubes is conveyed through the hollow body to wet the interior thereof and cool the same.
