Zusammenfassung:A heat exchange device including a center manifold including flow passages configured to exchange heat between heat exchange fluid within the flow passages and fluid external of the flow passages, wherein adjacent ends of adjacent flow passages each direct fluid flow in opposite directions, at least one separator plate arranged within the center manifold, wherein the inlet and the outlet of each flow passage is separated one of the plurality of separator plates, at least one angled center manifold plate arranged within the center manifold, wherein the angled center manifold plate is angled or curved to alter a static pressure profile throughout the center manifold and make more uniform distribution of flow among channels of the flow passages, wherein a downstream end of the at least one angled center manifold plate abuts an arcuate segment connecting adjacent separator plates.
