Abstract
A heat exchanger for exchanging heat between two fluids including a plurality of heat exchange units in stacked relation including a housing containing the stack. The invention contemplates an improved cover construction whereby the housing may be sealed, the use of embossments in plates forming the heat exchange units at advantageous locations to eliminate spacers heretofore employed and a turbulator structure employing symmetrical fins placed in back to back relationship.
