Working principle
Channels are formed between the plates and the corner ports
are arranged so that the two media flow through alternate
channels. The heat is transferred through the plate between
the channels, and complete counter-current flow is created
for highest possible efficiency. The corrugation of the
plates provides the passage between the plates, supports
each plate against the adjacent one and enhances
the turbulence, resulting in efficient heat transfer.
