Abstract
Methods of assembling a multilayer panel for use in a heat exchanger. An example method includes positioning a frame on a work platform, the frame having two header sections and a middle section, the middle section defining a heat transfer fluid area and each header section defining a frame alignment feature; positioning a heat exchange sheet on the frame across the middle section and each header section, the heat exchange sheet having two sheet alignment features each corresponding to one of the frame alignment features; inserting an alignment pin of the work platform into each pair of corresponding frame and sheet alignment features; and welding the heat exchange sheet to the frame.
