Abstract

The invention relates to a heat exchanger assembly having two exchangers, each comprising a stack of parallel plates defining a first connection surface and a second connection surface that are adjacent to each other. The heat exchanger assembly can also include an enclosure between the first connection surface and the second connection surface, primary compartments in the enclosure configured to channel primary fluid through the first connection surface and the second connection surface, and a secondary compartment in the enclosure for channeling secondary fluid.
