Abstract
A cooling unit positioned between a first gas stream and a second gas stream, the first gas stream and the second gas stream having no direct fluid contact therebetween. The cooling unit includes a double-sided heat exchanger with a first side that is in thermal communication with the first gas stream and a second side that is in thermal communication with the second gas stream. The double-sided heat exchanger provides a direct path of thermal conduction between the first gas stream and the second gas stream. First fins are provided on the first side of the double-sided heat exchanger and second fins are provided on the second side of the double-sided heat exchanger. A first surface area of the first side of the double-sided heat exchanger is at least 5% greater than a second surface area of the second side of the double-sided heat exchanger.
