A heat exchange section (1) composed of a fuel supply part (7); core (5),
and steam collecting part (9). A heat exchange section (1) composed of
the fuel supply part (7), core (5) and steam collecting part (9) is
secured to a side wall plate (37). Three faces of the heat exchange
section (1) except for the side wall plate side, high temperature gas
inlet side and outlet side are covered by the housing body (43). Heat
resistant filler (45), intervenes between the housing body (43) and the
heat exchange section (1). An upper and lower portions (43b, 43c) of the
housing body (43) are prevented from deforming due to thermal expansion
of the core (1) by a heat deformation absorbing mechanism (47) which is
formed by bending the joint of the flange (43a) of the housing body (43)
and an upper and lower end portions (37a) of the side wall plate (37).
