High efficiency thermal transfer plate

A thermal transfer plate for use with a thermal exchange unit, said thermal transfer plate comprising:

• a thermal transfer plate body comprising a thermoplastic fluid transport area and additionally comprising an upper thermal transfer plate formed via a skiving and a fluid transport area bounded by multiple thermal transfer plate body sides and an upper sealing surface and a lower sealing surface;
• the upper thermal transfer plate bounding the upper sealing surface to form an upper fluidic seal and comprising an upper single contiguous piece of copper comprising an upper base and multiple upper skived fins with increased roughness on a surface of the respective multiple upper skived fins, wherein the upper skived fins are positioned so that at least a portion of the upper skived fins are within the fluid transport area;
• a lower thermal transfer plate bounding the lower sealing surface to form a lower fluidic seal and comprising a thermal transfer area, wherein the thermal transfer area is positioned so that at least a portion of the thermal transfer area is in fluid communication with the fluid transport area;
• and
• a fluid inlet in fluid communication with the fluid transport area and a fluid outlet also in fluid communication with the fluid transport area.
