  • each module half has two bearing surfaces for the heat exchanger tube and allows the heat exchanger tube rests well. Due to the U-shaped design, the weight of the holding module can be substantially reduced.
  • the plug element can, for. Example, be constructed so that it has at least two upper and / or at least two lower openings into which the side walls of the upper and lower holding module half can be inserted or the lower holding module half and / or the upper holding module half is constructed so that they have in the side walls openings into which the plug element can be inserted.

  • Recess 3a, b corresponds substantially to the outer diameter of the heat exchanger tube 12, such that the tube is held against slipping.
  • the holding modules are designed such that one of the units 30, 31, 32, 33 serve as a fixed and the other as a loose bearing, so that the different thermal expansion of the individual heat exchanger tubes is compensated relative to the frame.
  • each holding module half is formed so that it has a U-shaped cross section, so that the holding module 1 is hollow inside and has a low weight.
  • the openings 3a, b are formed in the opposite side walls 5a, b and 6a, b of the module halves 1a, b. Between the side walls 5a, b and 6a, b is in each case a bottom 7a, b.
