Summary:A heat exchanger includes number of bolted flanges and a number of heat pipes for heating and cooling liquids entering the heat exchanger. One of the bolted flanges connects a plenum housing to a relief valve piping. The relief valve piping remains closed during normal operation of the heat exchanger and opens to maintain pressure when operating pressure of the heat pipes increases above an acceptable level. The heat exchanger also includes a plenum plate, attached to a cold-side housing and the plenum housing, which seals a cold side of the heat exchanger from an upper plenum. The heat exchanger also includes a separation plate, connected to a cold-side housing and the hot-side exit vapor belt, which seals a cold side of the heat exchanger from a hot side of the heat exchanger.
