Abstract

A heat exchanger including more than one fluid conductor, each of the fluid conductors is configured to receive a distinct flow of fluid and heat from only one heat source, wherein the coils are configured to be interleaved to form a structure of a single-sized lumen in which the heat source is disposed.

Claims (5)

1. A heat exchanger comprising a stationary plate comprising a diameter, more than one continuous finned fluid conductor and a heat source, each of said more than one continuous finned fluid conductor is configured to receive a portion of a single flow of fluid and to receive heat from said heat source for increasing a temperature of said portion of said single flow of fluid before merging all portions of the single flow of fluid, wherein each of said more than one continuous finned fluid conductor comprises a lumen having a diameter, diameters of said lumens of said more than one continuous finned fluid conductor are the same, said more than one continuous finned fluid conductor are interleaved to form a structure of a single-sized lumen of said diameter in which said heat source is disposed, said diameter of said single-sized lumen is the same as the diameter of said stationary plate, said stationary plate is disposed within said lumen of said structure, said stationary plate separating said lumen of said structure into an upstream portion and a downstream portion, a flue flow produced by said heat source upstream of said stationary plate traverses in a general direction of from said upstream portion to said downstream portion, said more than one continuous finned fluid conductor allow a low pressure drop in said single flow of fluid and efficient heat transfer from said heat source to all portions of the single flow of fluid, said stationary plate configured to aid a flue flow of said heat source to flow through at least one opening between at least two consecutive finned loops composed of said more than one finned continuous fluid conductor.

2. The heat exchanger of claim 1 , wherein at least one of said more than one continuous finned fluid conductor is a coil.

3. The heat exchanger of claim 1 , wherein said heat source is a radial-fired burner.

4. A heat exchanger comprising a stationary plate comprising a diameter, more than one continuous finned fluid conductor, each of said more than one continuous finned fluid conductor is configured to receive a distinct flow of fluid and heat from only one heat source, wherein each of said more than one continuous finned fluid conductor comprises a lumen having a diameter, said diameters of said lumens of said more than one continuous finned fluid conductor are the same, said more than one continuous finned fluid conductor are interleaved to form a structure of a single-sized lumen of said diameter in which said only one heat source is disposed, said diameter of said single-sized lumen is the same as the diameter of said stationary plate, said stationary plate separating said lumen of said structure into an upstream portion and a downstream portion, wherein said only one heat source is a radial-fired burner and said stationary plate is configured to be disposed within said lumen of said structure to aid in directing a flue flow of said radial-fired burner to flow through at least one opening between at least two consecutive finned loops composed of said more than one continuous finned fluid conductor in a general direction of from said upstream portion to said downstream portion.

5. The heat exchanger of claim 4 , wherein at least one of said more than one continuous finned fluid conductor is a coil.
