Abstract

A heat exchanger of the present invention is for cooling a high-pressure gas, and includes: a frame in which a single curved cooling medium flow path is formed by providing a plurality of partitioning plates parallel to one another; a single curved cooling pipe that is provided inside the cooling medium flow path via a space interval, wherein a cooling medium is flowed through the cooling medium flow path, and the high-pressure gas is flowed through the cooling pipe.

Claims

1. A heat exchanger for cooling a high-pressure gas, comprising:

a frame in which a single curved cooling medium flow path is formed by providing a plurality of partitioning plates parallel to one another;

a single curved cooling pipe that is provided inside the cooling medium flow path via a space interval, wherein

a cooling medium is flowed through the cooling medium flow path, and the high-pressure gas is flowed through the cooling pipe.

2. A heat exchanger according to claim 1, wherein a fin that extends along the longitudinal direction of the pipe is provided on the pipe.

3. A heat exchanger according to claim 1, wherein the frame is comprised of a main body and a cover which covers the main body, and the plurality of partitioning plates are provided to the main body or the cover.

5. A heat exchanger according to claim 1, wherein the metal body is a plate member.

6. A heat exchanger according to claim 1, wherein a temperature sensor is attached to one of the through holes in the block body.

4. A heat exchanger for cooling a gas, comprising:

a container for holding a cooling medium; and

a block body which is provided inside the container and within which a gas flow path for flowing gas is formed, wherein

the block body has a metal body in which a plurality of through holes are formed to cross one another, in which one of the openings of the through holes is designated as a gas entrance port, another opening is designated as a gas exit port, and the other openings are sealed, with the through holes constituting the gas flow path.
