ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to improvements in heat exchangers of the type having a container which defines a cylindrical cavity and a cluster of parallel cooling tubes extending through the cylindrical cavity. The housing is provided with a fluid inlet, a fluid outlet, and a center baffle dividing the cylindrical cavity into an inlet compartment and an outlet compartment. The inlet and the outlet are located on opposite sides of the center baffle, but near one edge thereof. An opening is provided near the opposite edge of the baffle, such that fluid must circulate through a nearly circular path within the cylindrical housing between the inlet and the outlet conduits. A second fluid such as cool air, may be blown through the parallel tubes for removing heat from the fluid in the cavity. The present invention improves over the known heat exchanger structure by providing a number of deflector flanges attached to the cylindrical housing wall and extending radially inwardly therefrom towards the interior of the heat exchanger cavity. The deflector flanges direct fluid away from the housing wall and towards the interior of the coolant tube cluster.
