A heat exchange structure includes: two flow channels stacked in a stacking direction (Y direction) and thermally coupled to each other; and a fin structure detachably installed in at least one flow channel of the two flow channels. The fin structure includes fins arranged in a longitudinal direction (Z direction) of the at least one flow channel in which the fin structure is installed, the fins configured to form openings alternately arranged along the at least one flow channel on one side and the other side of the at least one flow channel in the stacking direction.

A heat exchanger including a plurality of heat exchanger plates in a stacked arrangement. At least two counterflow sections are positioned adjacent each other. The counterflow sections comprise an intermediate section of each heat exchanger plate. The heat exchanger plates configured to transfer heat between a first fluid and a second fluid flowing in an opposite directions from the first fluid through a respective heat exchanger plate. At least one tent section is positioned on each end of each counterflow section. The tent sections are configured to angle the flow direction of the first and second fluids in the tent sections relative to the flow direction in the counterflow sections. A wall is positioned between each tent section and each counterflow section configured to provide a load path at opposite ends of the heat exchanger to oppose forces due to pressure on the tent sections.

The invention relates to a heat exchanger comprising first fluid inlets, first fluid outlets, second fluid inlets and second fluid outlets. Each of the first fluid inlets, the first fluid outlets, the second fluid inlets and the second fluid outlets are arranged on four different sides of a heat exchanger core. A manifold covers one of the four different sides of the heat exchanger core, wherein a first sidewall of the manifold is arranged at an angle smaller than 90 degree to the one side of the heat exchanger core which is covered by the manifold. An edge of the heat exchanger core between the one side of the heat exchanger core which is covered by the manifold and a neighbouring side of the four different sides of the heat exchanger core forms a common weld line with a connecting edge of the first sidewall of the manifold. The invention also relates to a method for manufacturing a heat exchanger comprising a heat exchanger core and a manifold.

A plate heat exchanger has two metal plates brought into abutment, with a solder material between the plates. The plates are heated up to a first temperature. The plates are placed into a mold, the mold surfaces of which have cavities for envisaged channel structures. Channel structures are formed by local internal pressure forming of at least one plate under pressurization by the tool. The plates are heated up to a second temperature. The plates are solder bonded at the abuted surfaces. A plate heat exchanger has two metal plates, wherein channel structures have been formed in at least one plate and the plates are bonded to one another by soldering away from the channel structures. Eutectic microstructures having a longest extent of less than 50 micrometers are formed in the solder layer.

The present invention relates to a pair of heat exchanger (AB) plates (A, B), comprising a first heat exchanger plate (A) and a second heat exchanger plate (B), which are disposed facing one another and are spaced apart from one another so as to define an internal volume that is able to form a channel for the flow of a first fluid (F.sub.1), and each comprising a central panel (A.sub.0, B.sub.0. Said central panels are quadrilateral or quadrilateral with optionally truncated, cut-off or rounded edges, and are flat and mutually parallel. Two opposite sides of the central panel (A.sub.0) of the first plate (A) are inclined with respect to said central panel (A.sub.0) in the direction of the second plate (B) and form first joining panels (P.sub.1, P.sub.2) that come into contact with the two corresponding flat opposite edges of the central panel (B.sub.0) of the second plate (B).
