Abstract

A heat exchanger having an inlet tube, a chamber section, an outlet tube, and a medium directing member assembly disposed within the chamber section. The medium directing member assembly comprise an inlet channel member and an outlet channel member, with a medium directing distribution panel longitudinally disposed in between. The medium directing distribution panel is provided with an inlet face, set at an angle with respect to the inlet channel member, and an outlet face set at an angle with respect to the outlet channel member. Two independent sets of a pair of semi-circular symmetrical heat exchange medium flow pattern is established, with the first pair flowing peripheral to the inlet channel member, while the second pair flowing peripheral to the outlet channel member. The medium directing distribution panel is provided with two lateral and two vertical adjustment panels, permitting heat exchange medium throttling means within the chamber section.
