A multi-tube heat exchanger capable of increasing heat exchanging
performance without increasing its heat transmitting area, as well as
avoiding a reduction in heat exchanging efficiency due to adhering
pollutant or the like. The multi-tube heat exchanger includes an inner
tube group through which a first fluid passes and an outer tube around
which a second fluid passes. The heat transmitting tube is constituted of
only a heat transmitting tube main body and a number of lump-like
projections formed at a predetermined interval in the length direction on
one or both opposing wall faces on longer sides of the heat transmitting
tube main body. Longitudinal eddies are generated in high-temperature gas
by the, thereby consequently increasing heat exchanging efficiency.
