HEAT EXCHANGER Russian patent published in 2010 - IPC F28D7/00 F28D7/08 F28F1/10 

FIELD: heating.

SUBSTANCE: invention refers to heat engineering and can be used as heat exchanger of nuclear power plant operating in variable load conditions. In heat exchanger containing a bundle of heat exchange zigzag-shaped tubes with external finning in straight sections, which is installed in the housing, spacers arranged between tubes of the bundle so that mixing chambers are formed in the bending area of the latter, the spacers have thickenings in straight tube sections and grooves evenly spaced relative to them so that an individual channel is formed around each tube, which interconnects mixing chambers to each other.

EFFECT: providing forced heat exchange for obtaining small overall dimensions of equipment owing to increasing uniform temperature field in cross section of tube bundle, and decreasing relative tube deformation at thermal elongations.
