Abstract

A ceramic heat transfer device with a heat transfer matrix. The matrix includes gas ducts and fluid ducts which are arranged close to and parallel to each other. Inlet and outlet openings are provided in the boundary wall of the hear transfer matrix to facilitate the inlet and outlet of material. Fluid inlet and outlet slots are provided on both sides of the heat transfer matrix and boundary walls cover guide pockets. This arrangement allows the medium connections to be independent of the dimensions of the heat transfer matrix and provides for guidance of the medium, or material. the ends of the enlarged area of the guide pockets that connect the openings are arranged so that connection nipples are provided for connecting fluid pipes. Gas and fluid webs are provided in slot-like gas and liquid conduits for guidance of gas and fluid.
