A modular heat exchange element, adapted to be positioned in fixed relation to one or more other of such modules, may be produced as a monolithic, honeycombed body having a plurality of flow paths therethrough for at least two fluids. The body is provided with a plurality of cells extending from one face end of the body to the other face end thereof and arranged in columns of cells separated by fluid barrier wall surfaces. At least selected columns of cells are closed on both face ends of the body, with inlets and outlets for the selected cells provided by removing portions of the boundary surfaces and fluid barrier walls of the columns of cells near face ends of the body. A first fluid may enter selected columns of cells through the inlets and exit from the outlets near the other end thereof. A second fluid passes through the other selected columns of cells. Another module communicates with said first mentioned module for conveying fluids therethrough via appropriately mated openings therein such that a multiple module heat exchanger may be fabricated. Fluids are applied and passed from the heat exchange device through sealable headers communicating with inlet and outlet openings in selected modules, and module to module communication is accomplished by fluid tight seals.
