Abstract
A structural support for a module of a concentric tube type recuperative heat exchanger. A plurality of support beams 18 extend laterally across each module to support upper and lower tube sheets 22-24 independent from surrounding housing structure. The support beams are attached to the tube sheets by pivotal hangers 26 that permit relative movement therebetween, while said support beams are themselves supported at their ends on lateral shelf units affixed to the housing that surrounds each module.
