Abstract:
1. Condenser-type heat exchanger, comprising a housing surrounding at least two spaced apart modules of welded plates, each module comprising an independent cooling system, and a connecting chamber that connects the at least two modules in series such that direction in which fluid to be condensed flows through the modules is reversed when the fluid flow changes from a first module to a second module, and wherein the connecting chamber is formed by an outwardly facing surface of the first module, an outwardly facing surface of the second module, both surfaces being located on a same side of the exchanger, a connection plate connecting said surfaces, and at least one wall of the housing, wherein the surfaces are coplanar and the connection plate includes a wall extending between the surfaces, and wherein the connection plate includes a section elastically deformable in a direction of fluid flow between the modules.
