Abstract
A monolith suitable for use as a heat exchanger or as a carrier for a catalyst member is assembled from a plurality of plates (10, 10', 410) that are mounted one atop the next. The plates are generally rectangular and define a central baffle portion (12, 412) having a pair of substantially straight, parallel sides (14, 414) and having attached to the baffle portion at the ends thereof a support flange (18, 418) which is bendable upward into a configuration that enables it to support a second plate in spaced, parallel relation to the first plate, and anchor flanges (20, 420) that are bendable downward, to seal the corners of the monolith and, optionally, to engage the support flanges of one or more underlying plates.
