Abstract
Hydrogen coolers are provided with a cooler frame; cooling tubes positioned within the cooler frame; a tube bundle: an inlet chamber adjacent to an inlet end of the tube bundle; a reverse chamber adjacent to the reverse end of the tube bundle; and a support bracket adapted to be mounted on a frame of an electric generator. The support bracket defines an opening sized to receive inlet and outlet connections to the inlet chamber. The support bracket includes a shoulder for supporting the inlet chamber. This invention also encompasses the method of assembling these coolers in an electric generator.
