Abstract
A heat exchanger including a shell extending in a longitudinal direction D from a first end to a second end and including a mantle extending from the first end to the second end, and a solid inner core made of a core material and located inside the shell, the core extending in direction D from a first extremity towards the first end to a second extremity towards the second end. Whereby, at least one first flow path is provided inside the core, each first flow path extending from the first extremity to the second extremity of the core, n circuitous second flow paths extend through the core and/or between the core and the mantle, so that the at least one first flow path is surrounded by the n second flow paths over a non-zero rectilinear distance ΔL in direction D, n being an integer greater than 1.
