Abstract
A heat exchanger for use in a Stirling cycle engine includes a plurality of disc-like plates which are stacked in coaxial fashion within a cylindrical housing, and are supported thereby. The plates are all identical, and are provided with a matrix of perforations extending therethrough parallel to the axis of the heat exchanger. The plates are all parallel and spaced slightly apart, and each plate is rotated about the axis of the device approximately two percent from the adjacent plates. The cylindrical housing includes a plurality of radially extending fins which are disposed within an annular fluid jacket.
