Abstract

L'invention concerne un échangeur de chaleur (10) fonctionnant selon le principe du contre-courant, destiné à deux fluides gazeux de température différente. L'échangeur de chaleur présente des plaques creuses (12) empilées avec un certain écart, dont les parois du côté large (18) forment des surfaces de transfert de chaleur et qui sont parcourues par l'un des fluides circulant dans des canaux d'écoulement parallèles (16), tandis que dans la zone située entre les plaques creuses (12), l'autre fluide circule dans des canaux à contre-courant. Les flux de fluides acheminés et évacués séparément au niveau des différentes faces frontales de l'empilement de plaques (30) sont déviés au moyen de compartiments de déviation (42, 44) disposés sur les côtés opposés des plaques creuses. Les plaques creuses (12) sont conçues sous forme de plaques à profilés creux extrudées ou filées en plastique ou en métal, qui présentent une pluralité d'entretoises parallèles (32) délimitant les canaux d'écoulement (16) et moulées entre les parois du côté large (18).
