(57) A heat exchanger (10) includes a core (16) with layers (18A,B) and a closure bar (14A,B). The layers are arranged in a stack and include a first layer (18A) that is separated from abutting layers (18B) by a first parting sheet (24A) and a second parting sheet (24B). Fins (20A,B) are disposed between the first and second parting sheets and form one or more tabs (26A,B,C). The closure bar interfaces with the fins and receives the one or more tabs in one or more slots (28A,B,C).
