HEAT EXCHANGER, ESPECIALLY OIL/COOLANT COOLER

摘要

The invention relates to a heat exchanger, especially a stacked plate oil cooler ( 1 ) having a plate-type design. The heat exchanger is characterized in that two adjacent heat exchanger plates ( 2 ) define a space between them through which the heat exchange medium or a second medium that is to be cooled or heated flows. At one end of said heat exchanger, a base plate ( 3 ) lies substantially flat against the adjacent outmost heat exchanger plate ( 2 ) of the heat exchanger. Said base plate ( 3 ) is provided with a recess ( 5 ) whose contour follows that of the heat exchanger plate ( 2 ).
