Rows of heat exchange tubes are supported by transversely disposed support strips having a plurality of V-shaped members interconnected end to end in a manner so that said strips act as a structural member supporting the weight of the tubes and additional support elements from all rows above a given row. Each leg of each V-shaped member has a generally triangular tab bendable out of the plane of its associated leg.

Apparatus for providing heat exchange between the first and second fluids comprising a shell supporting a tube bundle having a plurality of rows of parallel tubes in said shell, means defining a fluid inlet for one end of said tubes and for defining a fluid outlet for the other end of said tubes so

Apparatus for providing heat exchange between the first and second fluids comprising a shell supporting a tube bundle having a plurality of rows of parallel tubes in said shell, means defining a fluid inlet for one end of said tubes and for defining a fluid outlet for the other end of said tubes so that said first fluid may flow through said tubes, said shell having an inlet and an outlet for a second fluid to be in surface contact with the outer periphery of said tubes, at spaced points along the lengths of said tubes the tubes being supported by discrete tube support strips disposed between rows of the tubes, each support strip having a plurality of V-shaped members interconnected end to end with each leg of each V-shaped member having a generally triangular tab bendable out of the plane of its associated leg for selective control of flow of said second fluid in a direction longitudinal of said tubes.
