Abstract: The invention relates to a method of using an indirect heat exchanger comprising a plurality of heat exchange modules arranged in a rectangular grid. Each heat exchange module comprises a plurality of first and second fluid flow channels extending in a first and second direction. The indirect heat exchanger comprises first and second manifolds fluidly connecting the first and second fluid flow channels of one heat exchange module with the first and second fluid flow channels of adjacent heat exchange modules thereby forming one or more first fluid paths. The invention also relates to a facility for processing liquefied natural gas including at least one indirect heat exchanger as described above.
