Heat exchanger with end seal for blocking off air bypass flow

摘要

A heat exchanger having a plurality of spaced-apart plate pairs, where each plate pair defines a flow passage for the flow of a first fluid. One or more fins are thermally coupled and sandwiched by the spaced-apart plate pairs for flow of a second fluid. A fluid manifold being fluidly coupled to the flow passages of the spaced-apart plate pairs is also provided. The heat exchanger has a front face and side faces defined by at least the plurality of spaced-apart plate pairs and the one or more fins. And, a bypass seal complementary to the front face or one of the side faces and engagingly coupled to the front face or one of the side faces for blocking a gap between the heat exchanger and a housing for receiving the heat exchanger. Also disclosed is a heat exchanger assembly having the heat exchanger disclosed.
