Abstract
The invention relates to a heat exchange element (1) for a film heat exchanger intended for distillation or for the evaporation of solutions or suspensions, and to a method for manufacturing the same. The substantially bag-like element is formed by bonding from oppositely positioned plastic heat exchange films (2), evaporation of liquid taking place on the exterior surfaces of the films and condensing of the obtained vapor taking place on the interior surfaces. In the bonding the interior (4) of the element is divided into ducts to direct the travel of the vapor, and according to the invention the films are at the same time stretched in the intervals between the bonding points (3) in order to provide leeway for bulging during the pressurization of the interior of the element. The element (1) may be made up of two heat exchange films (2) stretched by means of heat and a pressure differential between the different sides of the film, the films being bonded directly to each other, or there being bonded, between the heat exchange films to be stretched, one or more straight support films to improve the loadbearing capacity of the element.
