Abstract (en)

A heat exchanger comprises a multitude of metal plates. Each of the metal plates has two front faces, on at least one of which a fluid channel is disposed. The front face with a fluid channel serves as a side which another metal plate abuts against, so that the at least two metal plates can be appropriately joined with each other by means of their front faces. The at least two joined metal plates are smelted into one piece by being sintered with high heat. Thus, the whole heat exchanger can be assembled well without an additional joining process for the metal plates, such as screwing or welding.
