Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The invention relates to a heat exchange unit between a first and a second fluid with the heat exchange unit comprising: at least one interior duct ( 17 ) having a plurality of first longitudinal internal channels ( 21 ) for the circulation of the first fluid, a hollow exterior envelope ( 19 ) wherein is housed the interior duct ( 17 ), and at least two ribbed walls ( 19 a ) arranged on either side of the interior duct ( 17 ), in contact with the interior duct ( 17 ) and as well with the exterior envelope ( 19 ), in such a way as to delimit a plurality of second longitudinal channels ( 29 ) for the circulation of the second fluid, the second channels ( 29 ) extending substantially in parallel to the first channels ( 21 ). The invention also relates to a heat exchanger incorporating a heat exchange unit as well as a method of manufacturing such a unit.

First claim
