...(which would be more properly called: "heat exchangers") actually install upstream of the valve (i.e., between gas supply and valve). So they don't contribute the pressure-squandering dead volume and headspace you'd get if you added unnecessary volume downstream of the valve (i.e., between valve and breech) as in your sketch.
