(54)	Manifold with multiple passages and crosscounterflow heat exchanger incorporating the same

(57) A manifold (22) having multiple chambers for use in a cross-counterflow heat exchanger assembly (20) includes a first member (24) having arms (26) extending from a base (28) to arm ends (30). A second member (42) is secured to the first member to define the manifold. The second member includes an inner plate edge (50) that defines a first mating surface (54) that extends inwardly along the inner plate edge from each of the plate ends to mate with the arm ends (30). A wall (46) extends transversely to the inner plate edge to a wall end (56). The wall end mates with an inner base surface (34) to divide the interior of the manifold into a plurality of chambers (58,60). At least one lip (64) extends transversely to the inner plate edge to define a second mating surface that extends perpendicularly from the first mating surface and mates with an inner arm surface of the arms.
