<p>A heat exchanger is formed with tessellating conduits 4 passing therethrough. The tessellating conduits having transverse cross-sectional shapes which together substantially completely cover the transverse plane to the heat exchange 2. The tessellating conduits may be the outer conduits 18 within conduit pairs formed of an outer conduit 18 and an inner conduit 22. The outer conduits may have a cross-section that is a regular hexagon and the inner conduits may have a cross-section that is a circle. The heat exchanger can advantageously be formed by selective remelting of material with an energy beam.</p> |
