Abstract
The invention relates to a collecting device for cleaning members at the outlet of a heat exchanger, which is directly connected or, after passing through spacers or a bend, is reached by the flow from the outlet. In order to avoid speed peaks, in the often inhomogeneous flow, an intake aid is provided at the discharge point of the outlet, which is intended to render to flow uniform. As a result the screens conventionally used in the collecting device can have a smaller angle of inclination, which has an advantageous effect on the space requirements and the manufacturing costs.
