Apparatus provided with heat-exchanging means

Abstract

The invention relates to an apparatus provided with heat-exchanging means comprising a housing, in which housing a tube bank is accommodated, having at both sides connecting means for the inlet and outlet of a primary medium stream and a secondary medium stream, wherein the housing comprises a wall that extends in the longitudinal direction of the tube bank wherein the wall is embodied with tubes incorporated therein or mounted thereon, through which a portion of the medium supplied to the tube bank flows.

1 . An apparatus provided with heat-exchanging means comprising a housing, in which housing a tube bank is accommodated, having at both sides connecting means for the inlet and outlet of a primary medium stream and a secondary medium stream, wherein the housing comprises a wall that extends in the longitudinal direction of the tube bank, and wherein the wall is embodied with tubes incorporated therein or mounted thereon, through which a portion of the medium supplied to the tube bank flows.  
   
   
       2 . An apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein the tubes of the wall have a predetermined diameter and a predetermined mutual distance, such that during operation the wall acquires substantially the temperature of the tube bank.  
   
   
       3 . An apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein at their ends, the tubes that are mounted in or onto the wall and the tubes of the tube bank are lodged in tube plates that connect, respectively, to an inlet pipe connector or outlet pipe connector for the primary medium stream, and wherein the housing at said ends possesses an inlet or outlet, respectively, for the secondary medium stream.  
   
   
       4 . An apparatus according to  claim 3 , wherein the inlet or outlet, respectively, for the secondary medium stream is embodied as an inlet or outlet conduit surrounding the tube bank like a housing, and wherein over approximately the width of this inlet or outlet conduit, between adjacent tubes of the wall surrounding the tube bank, gaps are provided for, respectively, the inlet or outlet of the secondary medium stream.  
   
   
       5 . An apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein the same is embodied as chemical reactor.  
   
   
       6 . An apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein the same is embodied as heat exchanger.
