HEAT EXCHANGER

A heat exchanger (10) includes a stack of heat exchanger plate pairs (12) that each define an internal volume and include an inlet (22) and an outlet (24) such that a first medium flows from the inlet to the outlet along a flow axis (34). The inlets (22) together form an inlet header (26) through th...

Summary:A heat exchanger (10) includes a stack of heat exchanger plate pairs (12) that each define an internal volume and include an inlet (22) and an outlet (24) such that a first medium flows from the inlet to the outlet along a flow axis (34). The inlets (22) together form an inlet header (26) through the heat exchanger plate pairs and the outlets (24) together form an outlet header (28) through the heat exchanger plate pairs. The heat exchanger (10) also includes an array of fins (14) disposed between and in thermal contact with adjacent heat exchanger plate pairs (12). The array of fins (14) defines flow channels (56) between the adjacent heat exchanger plate pairs (12) such that a second medium flows through the flow channels (56) along the flow axis (34). One end of the array of fins (14) includes a cut-out area (62; 64) which causes a first portion of the array of fins (14) to be positioned laterally from either the inlet header (26) or the outlet header (28).
