ABSTRACT:
A marine heat exchanger has a low profile header and cooling tube configuration to minimize drag and maximize heat transfer during use. The cooling tubes extend from at least an underside of the header so that the header vertically disposed cross sectional area is minimized and the cooling tubes are exposed to flowing seawater prior to or along with the headers. The tubes can also extend forwardly of the header to further maximize heat transfer and minimize drag. The header construction is especially adapted for hulls without recesses for header containment.
