Zusammenfassung: | Tightly packed serpentine tubes forming a tube bundle are repeatedly supported by a plurality of flat bars having regularly spaced notches along the longitudinal margins; the notches register to form an opening for receiving the tubes, and the bars are fastened together to form strips which depend from a tube sheet. A plurality of the strips are fastened together in such a manner that they are free to move lengthwise with respect to each other to allow for differential thermal expansion and to reduce vibration of the strips. |
