Abstract
A sectional heat exchanger for a heat cell. The sectional heat exchanger having two end segments and one or more intermediate segment(s) provided between the two end segments which are assembled in the heat exchanger. A combustion chamber is provided in the sectional heat exchanger, perpendicular to the one or more intermediate segment(s), each of the one or more intermediate segments having at least one flow channel for a fluid to be heated. In between each two consecutive segments at least one flow channel for flue gas is present. The total width of the sectional heat exchanger decreases over at least part of the length in the direction away from the combustion chamber. The depth of the flow channels for flue gas decreases in the direction away from the combustion chamber. The distance between the two walls delimiting the intermediate segment increases in the direction away from the combustion chamber.
