Abstract
A distiller's counterflow-heat-exchanger module includes thermally conductive distillate and concentrate dividers across which heat flows to an influent liquid from distillate and concentrate liquids, respectively. The distillate divider's shape is convoluted in such a manner as to form alternating distillate and influent channels having end openings. A peripheral gasket is so over-molded onto the distillate divider that it forms plugs that seal the end openings from each other and further forms a ridge providing surfaces against which opposed generally planar parallel surfaces of cover members can be urged to form a peripheral seal.
