Abstract

A gas/liquid heat exchanger includes a stack of abutting, substantially identical plates that are arranged in alternating fashion to define first and second flow channels. End plates are placed on the stack of the aforementioned plates. The core allows straight through flow of gas in the first fluid passageways which may be made relatively large and the use of a cooling liquid flow through the second coolant passageways for cooling the gas in the first coolant passageways.
