Abstract (en)
A heat exchanger, particularly a charge-air cooler, in which heated air is cooled by a cooling fluid, is constructed from stacked pairs of plates with air flow passages arranged between adjacent ones of the plate pairs. Each of the pairs of plates includes an inlet and an outlet for the cooling fluid flow arranged within an inlet and outlet region and aligned with the direction of the air flow through the heat exchanger. A flow barrier formed by beads of the plates is arranged between the inlet and outlet region and a heat exchange section of the plate pair. A flow of cooling fluid is directed through a coolant flow path extending through the plate pair between the cooling fluid inlet and the cooling fluid outlet, with the cooling fluid flow path having a first portion along one longitudinal edge of the plates, a second portion along an opposing longitudinal edge of the plates, and a third portion extending through the heat exchange section between the first and second portions. The flow of cooling fluid through the third portion is in a direction counter to the flow of air.
