Abstract
The disclosure relates to plate-fin and manifold assemblies for heat exchangers. In some examples, an assembly includes a first plate and a second plate. The assembly also includes a plurality of fins disposed between the first plate and the second plate. In addition, the plurality of fins are spaced apart by a width large enough adapted for counter-flow of a plurality of fluids between adjacent fins of the plurality of fins. Further, the plurality of fins are configured to direct fluid flow across a length of the first plate and the second plate.
