Abstract

The device comprises at least one compartment grid formed by tube elements of small height placed in juxtaposed relation and each traversed axially by one pin of the bundle. The tube elements are rigidly fixed to each other at successive points in the grid and relatively displaced along the height of the pins so as to be distributed in at least one helix.
