The invention relates to a heat exchanger comprising a supercritical
carbon-dioxide circuit comprising a plurality of tubes (1).The heat
exchanger is original in that at least one section of the tubes (1) have
surface irregularities (3) on their inner surface. These irregularities
(3) are located within a zone (6) extending as far as a point located at
a distance from the inlet (7) of the tube of maximum 400 times the
diameter of the tube.
