Abstract
A heat exchanger suitable to be used as a recuperator in a micro gas turbine including a stack of cells. Each of the cells includes a pair of mutually spaced-apart plates and layers including heat exchange elements arranged at the outer surfaces of the plates and between the plates. Each of the layers including heat exchange elements can include at least one discrete spatial component incorporating a number of elements. Both a supply header and a discharge header of the heat exchanger can be made of only two components at the position of the stack of cells. Compensating for heat expansion effects can be via a bellows-shaped pipe portion of a supply conduit.
