Abstract
In a non-contact heat exchanger such as a heat recovery steam generator, the performance efficiency is dependent upon full utilization of the available hot gas flow. In a heat recovery steam generator, hot gas is channeled past fluid carrying tubes whereby the tube-side fluid (water) is heated into steam. It has been discovered that gas flow along the heat exchanger sidewalls results in an unacceptable heat loss and that this loss may be corrected by the use of sidewall baffles so constructed as to obviate any alignment difficulty.
