High efficiency thermal transfer plate

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

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