Claim 3:
4. The process for assembling a tube heat exchanger as recited in claim 3, further including:
adjusting a plurality of first outer elongate compression members provided along an outer radius portion of the closure assembly which extend in the closure assembly coaxially along the longitudinal axis of the closure assembly so as to transmit a first force to a first compression ring, which transmits the first force to a rim portion of the diaphragm and the diaphragm gasket so as to compress the diaphragm gasket against the diaphragm; and
adjusting a plurality of second inner elongate compression members provided along an inner radius portion of the closure assembly which extend in the closure assembly coaxially along longitudinal axis of the closure assembly so as to transmit a second force to a second compression ring, which transmits the second force against a portion of the diaphragm causing a portion of the diaphragm to deflect distal from the closure assembly and towards the elastic torsion member of heat exchanger assembly when the closure assembly is secured to the elongated heat exchanger enclosure.
