Claim 12:
13. The method for exchanging heat according to claim 12, wherein in a first section (31) of the tube bundle (2) in which turbulence or a pressure loss of the second fluid provided in the shell space (M) influences the heat exchange between the first fluid and the second fluid, the adjacent windings (23) of at least one tube layer (22) have an axial distance (T) that differs from an axial distance (T) of the adjacent windings (23) of the respective tube layer (22) in a second section (32) of the tube bundle (2) adjacent to the first section (31) in the axial direction (a), wherein in the second section (32), the turbulence or pressure loss of the second fluid causes a reduced influence on the heat exchange between the first fluid and the second fluid, wherein the axial distance (T) of the adjacent windings (23) of said tube layer (22) in the first section (31) of the tube bundle (2) is smaller than the axial distance (T) of the adjacent windings (23) of said tube layer (22) in the second section (32) of the tube bundle (2).
