Abstract
A heat exchanger for providing thermal energy transfer between first and second flows along first and second flowpaths has a plate bank having a plurality of plates. Each plate has: opposite first and second faces and leading and trailing edges along the second flowpath; a proximal edge having along the first flowpath: at least one inlet port; at least one outlet port; and at least one passageway. An inlet manifold has at least one inlet port and at least one outlet port. An outlet manifold has at least one outlet port and at least one inlet port. The first flowpath passes from the at least one inlet port of the inlet manifold, through the at least one passageway of each of the plurality of plates, and through the at least one outlet port of the outlet manifold. A shroud links distal portions of the plates.
