ASSEMBLY OF HEAT EXCHANGERS AND A CRYOGENIC DISTILLATION APPARATUS INCORPORATING THE SAME

摘要

Heat exchange assembly comprising at least one first and one second heat exchange body (5, 7), each body being of the plate heat exchanger type, comprising a plurality of metal plates of substantially similar contour extending along a first dimension or length and a second dimension or width, spaced from and arranged in parallel rows to one another along a third dimension or thickness and sealing means bounding flattened passages with the said plates, forming at least one passage of a first type and at least one passage of a second type, the sealing means allocated to each passage releasing one fluid inlet and one fluid outlet, characterized in that one side bounded by a width and a thickness of at least one first heat exchange body is located at least partially opposite a side bounded by a width and a thickness of at least one second heat exchange body, the two sides being separated by insulating material (I) .
