Abstract
An apparatus for use in a counter flow heat exchange assembly that provides increased heat exchange. The apparatus includes a plurality of adjacently spaced arrays, each array having a plurality of cooling conduits that are connected to one another through the utilization of connector portions. The adjacent vertical arrays have a centerline-to-centerline distance extending between them that is greater than the diameter of each of the conduits employed. In addition, the apparatus includes a vertical partition that extends between some or all conduits of each array.
