Abstract
A plate-type heat exchanger comprising a plurality of spaced-apart stacked plate pairs, the plate pairs each comprised of first and second plates. The first and second plates each having an elongated central, planar portion surrounded by peripheral edge portions, the peripheral edge portions of the first and second plates being sealably joined together to form a first set of fluid passages in the heat exchanger. The first and second plates are provided with boss portions at respective ends of the plates, one of the boss portions being an elongated boss portion having a first position and a second position for the location of a fluid opening. The first and second heat exchanger plates are identical in structure and can be used to form various heat exchangers using the single plate design.
