Abstract
The invention relates to an evaporator () for heat exchange between fluids, comprising a housing () having at least one inlet () and at least one outlet () for each fluid, the inlet and outlet for each fluid being connected to one another by a flow path (), the flow path () of a first fluid comprising multiple heat exchange modules () comprising at least one longitudinal hollow tube (), wherein the modules () are arranged in a stack spaced apart from the housing () leaving free a gap (), and wherein a module () is provided with at least one connector () for connecting to a co-operating connector of an adjacent module, such that the gap () between the housing and the stack defining at least a liquid recycle zone for containing the second fluid and a phase separation zone for separating a vapor phase and a liquid phase of the second fluid and the space () enclosed between adjacent modules in the stack defining a flow path () for a second fluid, parallel to the flow path () for the first fluid, are in fluid communication with each other.
