HEAT EXCHANGER WITH END PLATE PROVIDING MOUNTING FLANGE

摘要

A heat exchanger for heat exchange between two liquids comprises a core comprised of formed plates connected to one another in a stack, these plates including first and second end plates and intermediate plates. Each plate has a central section and the first end plate and the intermediate plates each have an edge wall extending outwardly from its respective central section at an angle. The core has inlet and outlet holes in the main plate sections. The plates are in sealed engagement with one another and the central sections of at least the first end plate and the intermediate plates are spaced apart from respective adjacent central sections to form flow passages. The second end plate is formed with an integral ridge extending snugly along the edge wall of the adjacent plate. This ridge is spaced from the edge so as to provide one or more mounting flanges.
