Abstract
A heat exchanger comprises a matrix made up of alternate layers of generally planar sheets and generally corrugated sheets which cooperate to define a plurality of parallel passages for first and second heat exchange fluids. Alternate of the passages defined by each of the corrugated sheets and its adjacent planar sheets are adapted for the passage of a first heat exchange fluid and the remainder adapted for the passage of a second heat exchange fluid. The ony bonding together of the planar sheets and corrugated sheets is along those portions of their peripheries which are parallel with the defined passages.
