    摘要: A heat exchanger assembly embodiment includes a plurality of laminated ceramic tape layers having at least one hole surrounded by at least one tape remainder portion. The plurality of layers is arranged in a build direction defined parallel to a counter-flow plane. Each laminated ceramic tape layer is stacked and sintered to define a ceramic core section integrally formed with a first ceramic manifold and a second ceramic manifold. The ceramic core section of the assembly includes a plurality of spaced apart counter-flow plates stacked along a stacking direction normal to the counter-flow plane and the build direction, defining a plurality of flow passages parallel to the counter-flow plane. Each flow passage is in communication with the first manifold and the second manifold. A plurality of counter-flow fins is disposed in at least one of the plurality of flow passages, between adjacent ones of the plurality of counter-flow plates.

    摘要: A header for a heat exchanger having a first phase with a first pipe connector defining a first flow path and a second pipe connector defining a second flow path fluidly isolated from the first flow path. A second phase in which the first and second flow paths are merged while maintaining fluid isolation of the two flow paths wherein in the second phase the first flow path comprises at least one first layer and the second flow path comprises at least one second layer. A third phase in which the at least one first layer and the at least one second layer are substantially overlapping and wherein the third phase is configured to fluidly connect the first flow path to a first section of a core of a heat exchanger and the second flow path to a second section of the core different from the first section.
