Abstract

A well fluid heat exchange system for processing well fluids, comprising a heat exchanger adapted to exchange at least part of the heat between a first fluid medium and a second fluid medium, the second fluid medium being fluidly isolated from said first fluid medium, a heat generator adapted to increase the temperature of said first fluid medium so as to change the phase of said first fluid medium, wherein said heat exchanger and said heat generator form a closed loop fluid path for said first fluid medium, and a control assembly, located downstream of said heat exchanger and upstream of said heat generator within said closed loop fluid path, and adapted to monitor at least a first physical property of said first fluid medium and selectively divert at least part of said first fluid medium from said closed loop fluid path.
