ABSTRACT:
A heat exchanger is disclosed which is designed to be fabricated from sheet material. The heat exchanger core assembly comprises a plurality of stacked substantially identical strips of formed sheet members each having a plurality of troughs formed therein. The troughs are positioned in nested relationship so as to define fluid flowpaths through the core assembly and between headers secured to opposite ends of the core assembly. Each of the troughs includes a bottom portion having a plurality of openings therein through which fluid may flow. In one embodiment the openings are in the form of louvers. In another embodiment, the openings are rectangularly shaped and offset between successive strips in the stack so as to impart a mixing action to the fluid flowing through the core. Heat radiating fin portions separate the respective fluid flowpath defining troughs and may include louvered-like openings therein. A method of fabricating the heat exchanger is also disclosed.
