Abstract

An apparatus includes a core configured for use in an energy exchanger. The core includes a plurality of stacked and spaced planar plate pairs including a top plate and a bottom plate to support fluid flow of a first fluid flow and a second fluid flow. A plurality of dimples is provided by instances of the plate pairs. The plurality of dimples are arranged to generate substantially counter current flow between the first fluid flow and the second fluid flow.
