Abstract
The invention relates to an evaporator-condenser-type heat exchanger comprising a plurality of zones, each zone comprising at least one extractor means configured to channel at least a portion of the primary vapor generated in said zone towards the outside of the heat exchanger. The heat exchanger includes a plurality of sub-assemblies consisting in part of a layer of a thermally conductive material.
Claims16
A heat exchanger comprising a plurality of sub-assemblies consisting in part of a layer of a thermally conductive material, said heat exchanger comprising:
- evaporation surfaces configured to generate a primary vapor coming from a liquid to be treated,
- condensation surfaces configured to condense a secondary vapor into a condensate and to capture latent heat from condensation, the secondary vapor being the vapor to be condensed,
- wherein said thermally conductive material is configured to transfer at least a portion of the latent heat of condensation from one or more of said condensation surfaces to one or more of said evaporation surfaces,
- said heat exchanger being defined by a volume divided into a plurality of zones,
- said heat exchanger being characterized in that each of said zones comprises at least:
- one of said sub-assemblies, and
- an extractor means configured to channel at least part of said primary vapor generated in said zone towards the outside of said volume,
- wherein the extractor means are configured to discharge the primary vapor outside of said volume without passing in front of the evaporation surfaces of other adjacent sub-assemblies.
