Abstract
A tubular heat exchanger for an infrared heater which facilitates the packaging and transportation of such heater. The tubular heat exchanger is formed as a plurality of discrete heat transfer subsections which are typically separately assembled, and then brought together to form the heat exchanger. The heat transfer subsections may be coupled together via a hinge which allows relative rotation between the two subsections, or via conventional hardware. The individual heat transfer pipes of each heat transfer subsection are connected on at least one end to a header plate, which allows the subsequent assembly of the heat transfer subsections.
