FIELD: mechanics, heating.
SUBSTANCE: in compliance with the invention, the heat exchanger-modular water heater incorporates one or two modules each comprising, at least, two heat exchanger units integrated by a diffuser to feed a cooling medium and a confuser to withdraw the medium to be cooled, primarily, a turbine hot exhaust gas. It also comprises the manifolds feeding and withdrawing the medium being heated, primarily, air, each communicating, via a tube plates fitted directly in the said manifold walls, with the multi-row bank of the four-pass heat exchanger variable standard-size pipes, the said standards sizes being calculated from the ratios covered by this invention and the aforesaid tube plates being secured by appropriated spacers. The multi-row bank can be made up of, at least, two trains of two-pass U-shape pipes integrated by the aforesaid manifolds and, at least, one bypass chamber.
EFFECT: high-efficiency heat exchanger, lower heat exchanger metal input, optimum design and spacers, higher design rigidity, simpler assembly of heat exchange pipe banks.
