  • the term "heat exchange system” is to be understood as any system in which an indirect heat transfer between at least two media takes place by means of a heat transfer fluid. Such a heat exchange system is known for example from US Patent 2,119,091.
  • Such heat exchange systems preferably use a boiling, in the temperature range between 0 and 30 ° C liquid present as heat transfer fluid, which may be, for example, ethane, ethylene, propane, propylene, butane, carbon dioxide or ammonia.
