Zusammenfassung:A primary heat exchanger for use in an environmental control system of an aircraft is provided having a rectangular core. The core includes a plurality of alternately stacked first fluid layers and second fluid layers. The core has a length to width ratio of about 4.88 and a width to height ratio of about 2.37. A first header is positioned adjacent a first surface of the core and a second header is positioned adjacent a second opposite surface of the core. The first header and the second header form a portion of a flow path for a first fluid. An inlet flange is positioned adjacent a third surface of the core. An outlet flange is positioned adjacent a fourth, opposite surface of the core to form a portion of a flow path for a second fluid.
