Abstract
The invention concerns a method for evaporation and/or condensation of at least one fluid in a heat exchanger consisting of a stack of at least one tube (3) and of at least one folded corrugation (17), the corrugation and the tube being preferably brazed together, wherein a fluid flows inside at least one tube, and another fluid flows around the corrugation (17). The invention also concerns an installation for separating a mixture of fluids by cryogenic distillation, comprising a heat exchanger operating in accordance with such a method.

1-17. (canceled)
A method for the vaporization and/or condensation of at least one fluid in a heat exchanger consisting of a stack of at least one tube and of at least one corrugated fin, the fin and the tube being preferably brazed to each other and in which heat exchanger a first fluid, optionally to be condensed, flows inside at least one tube and a second fluid, optionally to be vaporized, flows around the fin, in which a) the first fluid condenses and the second fluid vaporizes or b) the first fluid vaporizes and the second fluid condenses.
