A heat exchanger (1) includes a heat exchanging body (20) disposed within an outer box (10). A supply pipe (21) and a discharge pipe (22) in fluid communication with the heat exchanging body (20) respectively extend through first and second insertion holes (31, 32) in the outer box (10). Elastic seal members (40; 240) are respectively provided around the supply pipe (21) and the discharge pipe (22) and between a first sidewall (11) of the outer box (10) and the heat exchanging body (20). At least one biasing member (50; 250) exerts a lateral biasing force (F1; F2) on the elastic seal members (40; 240), thereby maintaining the elastic seal members (40; 240) in a state of compressive deformation and contacting the outer box (10) and the heat exchanging body (20) in an air-tight manner to block potential leakage paths (LP1; LP2) via the insertion holes (31, 32).

A heat exchanger assembly includes at least one coil shaped heat exchanger pipe assembly for passing through a fluid to be heated, which has an inlet, an outlet and coil windings extending concentrically around a coil axis. The heat exchanger assembly further includes a housing in which the heat exchanger pipe assembly is received, such that a flue gas transport gap extends between the heat exchanger pipe assembly and the circumferential wall. In use, hot flue gas passes the coil windings, thereby imparting the heat to the fluid present in the heat exchanger pipe assembly. The housing has a first and a second end wall which close off a first end and a second end of the circumferential wall. The housing is made of plastic and the heat exchanger pipe assembly is clamped in axial direction between the first and the second end wall of the plastic housing.

A heat recovery system for recovering waste heat from exhaust gases that are expelled through a flue that are generated as a byproduct from a heating system, comprises a venting arrangement that connects to the flue from the heating system and a motorized damper to direct the exhaust gases from the flue through the venting arrangement to an intake plenum. The intake plenum directs the exhaust gases to a heat exchanger that comprising a series of serpentine conduits between which the exhaust gases pass through. The heat exchanger is connected to exhaust plenum which is in turn connected to an exhaust fan that draws the exhaust gasses through the heat recovery system. The heat exchanger further comprises a series of inlet ports and outlet ports that add and remove coolant to the serpentine conduits at selected temperatures.
