Abstract
The present invention relates to a heat exchange system comprising:—a single apparatus (N) having an area immersed in a fluid bath (N2) and a free space (N1) at the head in which a vapour phase is accumulated,—at least one interspace (P) open at both ends, situated inside said apparatus and completely immersed in the fluid bath,—one or more heat exchange surface (s) (6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11), said system characterized in that it contains all the heat exchange surfaces in a single apparatus and said surfaces are completely immersed in the fluid bath and are fluidly connected to the hot and cold sources, external to said system, through flows of matter. At least one of the heat exchange surfaces (6, 7, 8) is situated inside the interspace and at least another surface (9, 10, 11) is situated in the space between said interspace and the walls of the apparatus.
