A heat exchanger and associated methods for sublimating solid particles therein, for conveying fluids therethrough, or both. The heat exchanger includes a chamber, and a porous member having a porous wall having pores in communication with the chamber and an interior of the porous member. A first fluid is conveyed into the porous member while a second fluid is conveyed into the porous member through the porous wall. The second fluid may form a positive flow boundary layer along the porous wall to reduce or eliminate substantial contact between the first fluid and the interior of the porous wall. The combined first and second fluids are conveyed out of the porous member. Additionally, the first fluid and the second fluid may each be conveyed into the porous member at different temperatures and may exit the porous member at substantially the same temperature.

L'invention porte sur un échangeur de chaleur et sur des procédés associés pour sublimer des particules solides dans celui-ci et/ou pour transporter des fluides à travers celui-ci. L'échangeur de chaleur comprend une chambre et un élément poreux ayant une paroi poreuse qui présente des pores en communication avec la chambre et l'intérieur de l'élément poreux. Un premier fluide est transporté dans l'élément poreux pendant qu'un second fluide est transporté dans l'élément poreux à travers la paroi poreuse. Le second fluide peut former une couche limite d'écoulement positif le long de la paroi poreuse pour réduire ou éliminer un contact substantiel entre le premier fluide et l'intérieur de la paroi poreuse. Les premier et second fluides combinés sont transportés à l'extérieur de l'élément poreux. De plus, le premier fluide et le second fluide peuvent chacun être transporté à l'intérieur de l'élément poreux à différentes températures et peuvent sortir de l'élément poreux à sensiblement la même température.
