Abstract

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Wärmetauscher (1) zum indirekten Wärmetausch zwischen zumindest einem ersten und einem zweiten Medium, mit einem aus einer Mehrzahl um ein Kernrohr (100) gewickelter Rohre gebildeten Rohrbündel (10) zur Aufnahme des ersten Mediums, einem das Rohrbündel (10) umschließenden Mantel (20), der einen das Rohrbündel (10) umgebenden Mantelraum (200) zur Aufnahme des zweiten Mediums begrenzt, und mit einem Flüssigkeitsverteiler (40), der dazu eingerichtet und vorgesehen ist, einen im Mantelraum (200) geführten Strom (S) des zweiten Mediums in Form einer Flüssigkeit (F) im Mantelraum (200) zu verteilen. Erfindungsgemäß ist ein Regelmittel (33) vorgesehen, das dazu eingerichtet und vorgesehen ist, die Verteilung eines zusätzlichen im Mantelraum (200) geführten weiteren Stromes (S') der Flüssigkeit (F) im Mantelraum (200) zu regeln, und/oder die Verteilung des Stromes (S) der Flüssigkeit (F) im Mantelraum (200) zu regeln.

The invention relates to a heat exchanger (1) for indirect heat exchange between at least a first and a second medium, with a tube bundle (10) formed from a plurality of tubes wound around a core tube (100) for receiving the first medium, a tube bundle (10). enclosing jacket (20) delimiting a jacket space (200) surrounding the tube bundle (10) for receiving the second medium, and with a liquid distributor (40) arranged and provided for carrying a stream (S ) of the second medium in the form of a liquid (F) in the shell space (200) to distribute. According to the invention, a control means (33) is provided which is arranged and intended to regulate the distribution of an additional stream (S ') of the liquid (F) in the jacket space (200) guided in the jacket space (200), and / or the distribution the flow (S) of the liquid (F) in the shell space (200) to regulate.
