Abstract
A heat exchanger core incorporating diffusion bonded plates and heat exchangers incorporating such core are disclosed. The heat exchanger core comprises first and second groups of interleaved plates which are arranged respectively to carry first and second heat exchange fluids, and each of the plates in each group is formed in one of its faces with thirty or more platelets, each of which is composed of a group of parallel channels. Ports extend through the first and second groups of plates for conveying the first and second heat exchange fluids to and from the platelets, and distribution channels connect opposite ends of each platelet in each of the plates to associated ones of the ports. The distribution channels that are associated with each of the platelets in the plates of the first group are disposed in intersecting relationship with the distribution channels that are associated with respective ones of the platelets in the plates of the second group whereby each one of the platelets in the plates of the first group is located in heat exchange juxtaposition with a respective one of the platelets in the plates of the second group.
