ABSTRACT:
A heat exchanger bed including a plurality of elastomeric sheets. The sheets have a peripheral edge and a center. The sheets also have an opening therethrough proximate the center. The sheets are stacked one next to another in a stack. At least one sheet spacer is disposed between adjacent sheets of the stack. The center openings of adjacent sheets are aligned to define a passage through the stack.
