ABSTRACT:
A heat exchanger for exchanging heat between fluids comprising a shell and five tube bundles laid out as to collectively form a series of concentric pentagons, wherein each adjacent pair of tube bundles define an angle of 108.degree. and extend longitudinally within said shell and define a central space between them, said central space also extending longitudinally in said shell and being parallel to said tubes; each tube bundle consisting of a plurality of longitudinally extending parallel tubes in end view laid out in a set of parallel lines wherein each tube on a first parallel line with the two nearest tubes each on a second line adjacent to said first line forms an isosceles triangle having one angle of 72.degree. and two angles each of 54.degree.. This allows simple heat exchanger tube layout which is easy to fabricate and provide a compact tube bundle. The tube layout utilizes core tube entry of fluids and can accommodate internal core tubes or bypasses to cope with differential expansion.
