Abstract
A layer-built heat exchanger has channels formed by dividers in a first-side plate 32 and a second-side plate 33. A seal plate 3 is interposed between the first- and second-side plates. The first-side plate 32 and second-side plate 33 are positioned relative to each other such that dividers 35 of the second-side plate 33 are in line with channels 36 of the first-side plate 32, and dividers 34 of the first-side plate 32 are in line with the channels 37 of the second-side plate 33, thus preventing deformation of the seal plate 3 due to a high differential pressure between the coolants flowing through the channels of the first- and second-side plates. The corners of the first-side plate 32, second-side plate 33, and seal plate 3 are also shaped differently so that omission of one of the component plates can be easily confirmed.
