Abstract
A heat exchanger element has at least two stacked metal sheets connected to one another such that flow channels are formed between facing sides of the metal sheets. The flow channels allow flow of a heat exchanger medium therethrough. The metal sheets are made of a reactive metal and are connected by electron beam welding in vacuum. The heat exchanger elements are manufactured by introducing at least two metal sheets into a hermetically sealed vacuum chamber and partially connecting by electron beam welding in vacuum the at least two metal sheets to one another to form an intermediate product. The intermediate product is further processed to build a heat exchanger element.
Claims6
