Abstract
An air to air heat exchanger is provided including a core having a plurality of alternately stacked first layers and second layers. Each first layer includes a plurality of first modules having corrugated fins that define a plurality of first fluid flow paths. The first modules are aligned to fluidly couple the first fluid flow paths. Each second layer includes at least one second module having corrugated fins that define a plurality of second fluid flow paths. At least one second layer includes a third module having a plurality of corrugated fins that define a plurality of third fluid flow paths. The third module is arranged such that the third fluid flow paths are parallel to the second fluid flow paths. A number of corrugated fins formed in the third module is less than a number of corrugated fins formed in the second module.
