<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a heat exchange assembly for treating carbon dioxide. <P>SOLUTION: A heat exchange assembly 12 includes a housing 68 that includes an inlet, an outlet, and an inner surface that defines a cavity extending between the inlet and the outlet. The housing 68 is configured to receive solid carbon dioxide through the inlet. At least one heat exchange tube 70 extends through the housing 68, and is oriented to contact solid carbon dioxide to facilitate converting at least a portion of solid carbon dioxide into liquid carbon dioxide. The heat exchange assembly 12 is configured to recover a refrigeration value from the solid carbon dioxide and transfer at least a portion of the recovered refrigeration value to a flue gas. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT |
