Helically coiled heat exchanger for the indirect exchange of heat between a two-phase first medium and a second medium has a shell surrounding a shell space, which extends along a longitudinal axis, an inlet for the admission of the two-phase first medium into the shell space, a tube bundle arranged in the shell space and having multiple helically coiled tubes for accommodating the second medium and a separating device for separating a gaseous phase from a liquid phase. The separating device has a tray arranged above the tube bundle which serves for collecting the liquid phase. The tray has a plurality of chimneys for separating the two phases. Each chimney projects from the tray from a side of the tray facing away from the tube bundle and is covered by a roof. An opening in the tray between the roof and an upper end of the respective chimney, there is provided an inlet opening via which the gaseous phase can flow into the respective chimney.

Separating device for coiled heat exchangers for separating a gaseous phase from a liquid phase of a two-phase medium conveyed on the jacket side

The invention relates to a heat exchanger () having a tube bundle () with a large number of tubes wound around a central pipe (), a shell () enclosing the tube bundle () and defining a shell space () surrounding the tube bundle (), and a liquid distributor () having distributor arms () for distributing a liquid (F) into the shell space () and onto the tube bundle (), and drain pipes () for supplying the distributor arms with liquid (F). The distributor arms () are connected in a flow-guiding manner to a ring channel () positioned along the periphery of the shell (). For degassing liquid (F), central pipe () is connected in a flow-guiding manner to the distributor arms ().
