Abstract (en)

[origin: WO8200194A1] A low profile heat exchanger module (46) and method for forming the same wherein the heat exchanger module (46) is formed from one or more compact, single sheet primary surface heat exchanger core units (38a and 38b). Each single sheet primary surface core unit (38a and 38b) is made from a rectangular sheet of a suitable heat exchange material (10) which has been serrated along the longitudinal edges (18) to provide entrance ramps (20) and to minimize flow blockage. Fluid flow is controlled by closures (42, 44) in the ends of alternate flow passages (58, 64) which serve to isolate the fluid in one passage from the fluid in an adjacent passage.
