Abstract
A heat exchanger includes a first side opposite a second side and a third side opposite a fourth side and a cold layer with an inlet at the first side of the heat exchanger, an outlet at the second side of the heat exchanger, and a cold passage extending from the inlet to the outlet. The heat exchanger also includes a hot layer with an inlet manifold at the third side of the heat exchanger extending between the first side and the second side, an outlet manifold at the fourth side of the heat exchanger opposite the inlet manifold and extending between the first side and the second side, a hot passage extending from the inlet manifold to the outlet manifold, and a tube on the first side of the heat exchanger extending from the third side to the fourth side.
