Abstract

A heat exchanger for indirect heat exchange between a first fluid and a second fluid, with a shell surrounding a shell space for receiving the first fluid, a tube bundle having a plurality of tubes arranged in the shell space for receiving the second fluid, the tubes arranged in a number of tube layers, and a jacket arranged in the shell space and enclosing an outermost tube layer in the radial direction of the tube bundle. An intermediate space is formed between the tube bundle and the jacket surrounds the tube bundle. At least one elastic element is arranged with a first region between neighboring tube portions in the outermost tube layer and a second region that protrudes out of the outermost tube layer and abuts an inner side of the jacket (3) that is facing the tube bundle or connects the elastic element to the jacket.
