Abstract: A plate-type heat exchanger includes heat-exchange plates which are mutually stacked and facing each other so as to define, in the space between them, at least two passage channels. The heat-exchange plates have respective entry apertures which are substantially mutually adjacent so as to define an entry conduit. The entry conduit is connected with the passage channel of the corresponding fluid through at least one orifice. The entry apertures have respective collar-like edgings. Each one of the collar-like edgings has an abutment flange which extends radially with respect to the axis of the entry apertures and is adapted to engage, by contact, the abutment flange of the collar-like edging of an adjacent heat-exchange plate.

Abstract: An evaporator includes an enclosure with a lateral confinement shell with a substantially horizontal axis, which internally accommodates a dispenser of a coolant fluid and at least one tube bundle, which is arranged below the dispenser. The evaporator further includes exchanger tubes, which are passed through by a fluid to be cooled. At least one first group of exchanger tubes is arranged along rows which extend on substantially horizontal and mutually superimposed planes. The exchanger tubes of each row are arranged in at least one respective tray for collecting and distributing the liquid coolant fluid. Each tray has, along at least one first longitudinal edge, at least one first containment sidewall which is adapted to allow the liquid coolant fluid contained therein to fall by overflowing into an underlying tray and is provided in its bottom with openings for draining the liquid coolant fluid.

Abstract: There is described a heat exchanger comprising a plurality of tubes arranged parallel with each other in order to form one or more tube bundles axially inserted into a shell. A first fluid, fed through one or more first inlet nozzles flows inside the tubes and a second fluid, fed through at least one second inlet nozzle, flows inside the shell in order to perform the heat exchange with the first fluid through the walls of the tubes. Inside the shell two or more baffles are formed and arranged perpendicularly with respect to the centre axis of the shell. Between each baffle and the inner walls of the shell there is defined a corresponding window constituted by the cross-section for the passage of the second fluid, with a crossing direction parallel with the centre axis of the shell and the tubes, delimited by the free edge of the respective baffle on the one side and by the inner profile of the shell, at the intersection of the shell with the plane of the baffle, on the other side.
