Heat exchanger and method for operating a heat exchanger
Heat exchanger comprising a shell member 110 defining a shell space 112 containing a tube bundle 104. The tube bundle conveys a first heat transfer medium between a first inlet port 132 and a first outlet port 134, while theshell space 112 is adapted to convey a second heat transfer medium between a...

Summary: | Heat exchanger comprising a shell member 110 defining a shell space 112 containing a tube bundle 104. The tube bundle conveys a first heat transfer medium between a first inlet port 132 and a first outlet port 134, while theshell space 112 is adapted to convey a second heat transfer medium between a second inlet port 114 and a second outlet port 116. The shell space 112 is split into an inner region 112a and an outer region 112b. During a first mode of operation the second heat transfer medium is prevented from flowing freely in the outer region, while in a second mode of operation the second heat transfer medium flows freely in both the inner and outer regions in order to hasten cool down or warm up. |
