Abstract
A cylindrical heat exchanger member can be formed from multiple stacked ring shaped tubular members wherein an inlet and outlet of each ring shaped member terminate at a single header interface, thus permitting access to the inlet and outlet of each ring shaped member at a single location which enables rapid configuration of an combination of flow paths through the multiple ring shape members as well as simple and efficient cleaning of each ring shaped member.
