HEAT EXCHANGER SYSTEM AND METHOD OF USE

摘要

Herein disclosed is a heat exchanger. The heat exchanger comprises at least one pipe having a centerline, an inlet and an outlet; and a multiplicity of tubes, wherein each tube comprises a centerline, an inner surface, an outer surface, and groves; wherein the multiplicity of tubes are placed inside the pipe and the centerline of each tube is perpendicular to the centerline of the pipe. Herein also disclosed is a heat exchange system. Such a system comprises the heat exchanger as described herein, wherein the heat exchanger is configured to receive an incoming feed stream and to discharge a vapor stream. Herein also described is a process that utilizes the heat exchanger disclosed herein. Such a process comprises the separation of a volatile component from a non-volatile component in a mixture. In some cases, the non-volatile component comprises a salt or a sugar and the volatile component comprises water.
