Abstract
A heat exchange device of a type for affecting an exchange of heat between a first and second fluid is characterized by a plurality of heat exchange cells in a stacked arrangement wherein each cell includes inlet and outlet manifold rings which define inlet and outlet manifolds, respectively. Adjacent heat exchange cells are bonded to one another via metallurgical bonds between the contacting surfaces of the manifold rings. In a further aspect, a method for the manufacture of a heat exchange device is provided.
