Abstract
A heat exchanger with a connection that connects an uncooled pipe to several cooled pipes. The connection (3) has a cylindrical intake section that communicates with the uncooled pipe (2) and merges into an outward-tapering terminating section (9. The terminating section encloses several gas-conveying channels. Each gas-conveying channel extends out of the intake section coaxial to one of the cooled pipes (4). The gas-conveying channels (10) branch out in the shape of a star from the connection's intake section (8). The cooled pipes are inserted into a base (6) and arrayed along a segment of a circle. The gas-conveying channels are arrayed along the same segment.
