ABSTRACT:
A heat exchanger (10) for extracting thermal energy from a process fluid, comprising a first group of at least one plate-fin heat exchange module (34a) and a second group of at least one plate-fin heat exchange module (34b). Each plate-fin heat exchange module (34) includes an inlet (72), an outlet (74) and a plurality of spaced-apart plates (60) for communicating a refrigerant fluid in a cross-direction to a process fluid. The modules (34) are sequenced alternately with one of the modules (34a) of the first group adjacent one of the modules (34b) of the second group. The modules (34) are disposed so that the refrigerant fluid flows in a first direction through the modules (34a) of the first group and flows in a second opposite direction through the modules (34b) of the second group. A supply header (38) connects to the inlets (72) of each heat exchange module (34) in parallel for communicating the refrigerant fluid from a supply to the heat exchange modules. A discharge header (40) connects to the outlet (74) of each heat exchange module (34) for communicating the refrigerant fluid from the heat exchange modules to the supply.
