Abstract:
A method of forming a heat exchanger at a predetermined heat exchanger region on a wall having an interior surface and an exterior surface, the method comprising:(a) aligning a radially inwardly facing surface of an annular, outer ring coaxially with the exterior surface of the wall, the outer ring having a connected heat transfer means; (b) displacing the outer ring along an outer ring axis until the radially inwardly facing surface seats against the exterior surface of the wall at the predetermined heat exchanger region; (c) aligning a radially outwardly facing surface of an annular, inner ring coaxially with the interior surface of the wall, the inner ring having a connected heat transfer means; and (d) displacing the inner ring along an inner ring axis until the radially outwardly facing surface seats against the interior surface of the wall at the predetermined heat exchanger region and on an opposite side of the wall as the outer ring, thereby clampingly retaining the wall between the radially outwardly facing surface of the inner ring and the radially inwardly facing surface of the outer ring.
