Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A multi-pass heat exchanger is provided wherein the heat exchanger is comprised of a plurality of stacked heat exchange plates defining a plurality of alternating first and second fluid channels interconnecting respective pairs of manifolds. At least one of the manifolds in the pairs of manifolds is in the form of an annular manifold structure which divides the heat exchanger into at least a first part and a second part thereby forming at least a two-pass flow path. The annular manifold structure is provided by a generally tubular manifold insert having one end embedded within the manifold. A first annular manifold flow passage communicates with one of the sets of fluid channels in the first part of the heat exchanger and a second, central manifold flow passage communicates with the corresponding set of fluid channels in the second part of the heat exchanger.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A heat exchanger, comprising: a plurality of stacked heat exchanger plates defining a plurality of alternating first and second fluid channels therebetween forming a heat exchanger core, wherein each heat exchanger plate comprises: a base portion; a peripheral wall extending from and surrounding the base portion, the peripheral wall of one heat exchanger plate sealing against the peripheral wall of the adjacent heat exchanger plate when said plates are st…
