Abstract

The heat exchanger consisting of a stack, forms a right prism, of polygonal plates with perforations of elongate shape. The rows of perforations are stacked and each perforation of a plate communicates with two perforations of the following plate, thereby forming series of independent networks of interconnected perforations. Two systems of networks are thus provided, each of which is used to circulate a fluid. Supply and discharge means are also provided for each of the fluids.
