Abstract

La présente invention concerne un système d'échangeur de chaleur et un procédé d'utilisation du système d'échangeur de chaleur pour chauffer, refroidir ou condenser un flux de traitement à composants multiples gazeux comprenant au moins un hydrocarbure. Le système d'échangeur de chaleur comprend : - Une enveloppe ayant au moins une première entrée et au moins une première sortie définissant un chemin d'écoulement pour un premier fluide de traitement, et au moins une seconde entrée et au moins une seconde sortie définissant un chemin d'écoulement pour un second fluide de traitement ; - un certain nombre de tubes parallèles agencés dans l'enveloppe entre la première entrée et la première sortie, chaque tube ayant une surface externe étant pourvu d'une multitude d'ailettes de plaque s'étendant radialement vers l'extérieur à partir de la surface externe ; le premier chemin d'écoulement s'étendant le long de la surface extérieure des tubes, et le second chemin d'écoulement s'étendant à travers les tubes. Le flux de traitement à composants multiples peut comprendre deux composants ou plus choisis dans le groupe constitué par le méthane, l'éthane, le propane et l'azote. L'échangeur de chaleur peut être utilisé pour refroidir ou condenser un fluide frigorigène mélangé, comprenant un ou plusieurs hydrocarbures, dans un processus de liquéfaction de gaz naturel.
