Abstract

The subject of the invention is a plate-type heat exchanger including a leaktight vessel (1) of elongate shape divided transversely into at least two independent segments and a plate bundle (3) arranged in the leaktight vessel (1) and formed by a stack of metal plates which are equipped with corrugations defining gaps between them. One gap in two forms a longitudinal main circuit for a first fluid A stretching along the entire length of the plate bundle (3), and the other gaps are divided transversely in order to form at least two secondary and independent circuits for the circulation of a second fluid B and at least one third fluid C and D perpendicular to the direction of circulation of the first fluid A.
