Abstract
A method of making a continuous corrugated heat exchanger includes stamping a plurality of contiguous refrigerant plates joined together by a plurality of tabs. The method includes the steps of stamping at least a first and last one of the refrigerant plates flat to form end sheets. The method further includes the steps of bending the refrigerant plates to form a stack and bending the end sheets over the refrigerant plates at a top and bottom of the stack.
