HEAT EXCHANGER, IN PARTICULAR A HEAT EXCHANGER OF THE 'BLOCK IN SHELL' TYPE, COMPRISING A SEPARATOR, FOR SEPARATION OF THE GAS PHASE FROM THE LIQUID PHASE AND FOR DISTRIBUTION OF THE LIQUID PHASE

摘要

FIELD: heat exchange.;SUBSTANCE: invention relates to heat exchanger (1) for indirect heat transfer between first medium (4) and second medium (4a), comprising: tank (2), having inner space (I) for receiving two-phase first medium (4); plate-type heat exchanger (5) installed inside the inner space (I) for indirect heat transfer between first medium (4) and second medium (4a), 'wherein the inner space (I) is configured to receive first medium (4) with such level filling (3) that first medium (4) liquid phase (38) forms a bath surrounding the plate heat exchanger (5); and inlet (6) above filling level (3) for introducing first medium (4) into inner space (I). According to invention in inner space (I) separator (8) is provided, which forms receiving space (7), for separation of gas phase (39) from liquid phase (38) of first medium (4), wherein separator (8) has at least one upwardly directed receiving opening (9) for introducing first medium (4) flowing from inner space (I) into receiving space (7), wherein upwardly directed intake hole (9) is arranged above filling level (3) so that gas phase of first medium (4) in intake chamber (7) can extend through intake hole (9) into inner space (I).;EFFECT: proposed heat exchanger for indirect heat transfer.;15 cl, 4 dwg
