Abstract
A multi-fluid heat exchanger (100) includes a primary section (102) and a secondary section (104) arranged contiguous with the primary section (102). The multi-fluid heat exchanger (100) further includes a first heat transfer channel (106) arranged to carry a first fluid (118) and the first heat transfer channel (106) extends between the primary section (102) and the secondary section (104) and carries the first fluid (118) between the sections (102,104). The multi-fluid heat exchanger (100) also includes a second heat transfer channel (108) disposed only at the primary section (102) and arranged to carry a second fluid (114) for heat exchange between the first and second fluids (112,114) at the primary section (102) and a third heat transfer channel (110) disposed only at the secondary section (104) and arranged to carry a third fluid (116) for heat exchange between the first and third fluids (112,116) at the secondary section (104).
