Compact heat exchanger with alternating fluid channels
Abstract
A compact heat exchanger is provided, in which multiple streams can flow within the same layer or layers, and different fluids may flow in alternating channels within the same layer as well as flowing in alternating layers. Having fluids in alternating channels—as compared to only alternating layers within the same layer—increases the direct surface area between the fluids (the primary surface area) for heat transfer, thereby increasing the rate and efficiency of heat transfer. Methods of making and using the heat exchanger are also provided.
