Abstract

A gas/liquid heat exchanger. Process gases leaving the heat-transfer elements of a heat-transfer-surface unit are guided through the displacement body that is associated with that unit. Feed water is introduced into the displacement body at the lower end thereof. After countercurrent heat-exchange flow relative to the process gas, the feed water is withdrawn from the upper end of the displacement body, and is introduced into a zone of downwardly flowing water.
