Abstract
A plate for a heat exchanger is made by first providing a first rigid support layer of a flat generally planar shape and consisting of a broken-through and plastically deformable material. Then a flat generally planar membrane layer capable of transferring enthalpy between two fluid streams is laminated to the first layer by a surface-connection layer. These three laminated-together layers are then deformed into a three-dimensional shape.
Claims10
A method of making a plate for a heat exchanger, the method comprising the steps of sequentially:
- a) providing a first rigid support layer of a flat generally planar shape and consisting of a broken-through and plastically deformable material;
- b) laminating to the first layer by a surface-connection layer a flat generally planar membrane layer capable of transferring enthalpy between two fluid streams separated by the plate and also of the flat generally planar shape;
- and
- c) deforming all of the laminated together layers into a laminate of a nonplanar and three-dimensional shape.
