Method for the production of component for fluid flow through a heat exchanger

A method for producing a component for a heat exchanger through which fluid can flow, comprising the following steps:

• a) providing a base plate and a channel plate, wherein an adhesive layer formed by glue is placed on the surface of the base plate and/or the channel plate, at least in specific areas,
• b) placing the channel plate on the surface of the base plate such that the channel plate is spaced apart from the base plate to delimit at least one fluid channel in at least one channel region, and bears on the adhesive layer on the base plate and/or the channel plate to obtain a material bond in at least one bonding region,
• c) clamping the channel plate to the base plate in, or with, a hot press, such that a material bond is obtained in the at least one bonding region between the base plate and the channel plate when the adhesive layer is heated,
• d) cooling the base plate and the channel plate in, or with, a cold press, such that the adhesive layer heated in the hot press is cooled.
