Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2017145057A1] Heat exchanger (100) to direct exchange between hot gases of a hot source and a working fluid of an Organic Rankine Cycle system, comprising at least two tube bundles (200, 201) having a plurality of tubes (106) inside them the working fluid flows, an inlet manifold (103) from which the working fluid enters and an outlet manifold (105) from which the working fluid in a vapor phase comes out, said heat exchanger (100) also comprising: a first portion (102) crossed downward along the vertical direction of the heat exchanger (100) by the hot gases a second portion (101) crossed upward along he vertical direction of the heat exchanger (100) by the hot gases coming from the portion (102), an intermediate manifold (104) positioned between a last row of tubes (110) of the second portion (101) and a first row of tubes (111) of the first portion (102).
