Abstract

The invention relates to a heat exchanger comprising first fluid inlets, first fluid outlets, second fluid inlets and second fluid outlets. Each of the first fluid inlets, the first fluid outlets, the second fluid inlets and the second fluid outlets are arranged on four different sides of a heat exchanger core. A manifold covers one of the four different sides of the heat exchanger core, wherein a first sidewall of the manifold is arranged at an angle smaller than 90 degree to the one side of the heat exchanger core which is covered by the manifold. An edge of the heat exchanger core between the one side of the heat exchanger core which is covered by the manifold and a neighbouring side of the four different sides of the heat exchanger core forms a common weld line with a connecting edge of the first sidewall of the manifold. The invention also relates to a method for manufacturing a heat exchanger comprising a heat exchanger core and a manifold.

Abstract

The high temperature titanium-catalyst comprises a body, the body having a hot gas inlet and a hot gas outlet. The body comprises an array of titanium containing catalytic elements, wherein the array of titanium containing catalytic elements is arranged such that hot gas containing an amount of hexavalent chromium Cr(VI) may enter the body at the hot gas inlet, may pass through the array of titanium containing catalytic elements and may leave the body at the hot gas outlet. When the titanium-catalyst is in use, Cr(VI) in the hot gas containing an amount of Cr(VI) reacts with titanium oxide in a surface layer of the titanium containing catalytic elements, whereby the Cr(VI) is reduced to trivalent chromium Cr(III) thus reducing the amount of Cr(VI) in the hot gas containing an amount of Cr(VI).
