A high temperature heat exchanger structure

Abstract From the Canadian patent

To provide a thermal connection that can withstand mechanical stress in a high temperature structure comprising a panel having one face carrying a circuit made up of tubes in which a fluid flows the outside walls of the tubes are covered in respective high thermal conductivity textile layers. The structure further comprises holding means for holding the tubes pressed in non-rigid manner against the panel. Such holding means comprises at least one or more spring elements held into compression against the tubes the panel having ribs disposed between one or more tubes the ribs including housings for holding the spring elements in compression against the tubes. The structure enables heat …
