Abstract

A high temperature prime surface heat exchanger is created using adjacent pairs of plates having braze cladding on a first surface thereof that are formed to create fluid flow passages for coolant and fluid flow passages for hot gas when assembled into a core by stacking the plates. The coolant passages are adjacent the first or clad surface of each formed plate to avoid direct contact with the high temperature gas flowing in the hot gas passages. The adjacent plate pairs are joined by brazing of a contacting portion of the first surface on each plate to form sealed coolant passages the core.
