(54)	Integral heat exchanger distributor

(57) A heat exchanger comprises a first inlet port (14), a first outlet port (32) longitudinally spaced apart from the first inlet port (14), a plurality of substantially parallel parting plates (144) stacked along a no-flow axis (129), a plurality of first flow spaces (146) and a plurality of metering plates (154). The plurality of first flow spaces (146) are defined between adjacent ones of at least some of the parting plates (144) and provide communication between the first inlet port (14) and the first outlet port (32). The plurality of metering plates (154) are disposed across an upstream end of at least one of the first flow spaces (146). Each of the plurality of metering plates (154) includes at least one metering aperture (156) providing fluid communication between the first inlet port (14) and the at least one first flow space (146).
