OSTI ID:4006779

In a heat exchanger comprising a bundle of parallelly arranged tubes the proper relative position of the tubes is secured by tube supports. These supports are constituted by tubular pieces mounted on these tubes and held in place by shrinking or welding and having a plurality of branches with their extremities resting on the adjoining tubes. Preferably one tube in three has a support mounted on it. The said support may be of constant cross section (e.g. extruded) and constituted by three semicircular branches connected together by three cylindrical elements centered on the said heat exchanger tube.
