Abstract
A rotary heat exchanger includes: a tubular-shaped heat transfer tubular body (3) which is rotatable with a central axis (C) as a rotation center, which allows a first medium (11) to flow therein, and outside of which a second medium (12) having a temperature different from temperature of the first medium (11) flows; a central member (2) which is provided on an inner side of the heat transfer tubular body (3) in a radial direction and which is fixed coaxially with the heat transfer tubular body (3); and an outer sliding contact member (6) which is in sliding contact with an outer circumferential surface of the heat transfer tubular body (3), and the heat transfer tubular body (3) is rotatably supported with respect to the central member (2) via bearings (17, 18) disposed at two end portions of the central member (2) in an axial direction.
