  • Heat exchanger
    Patent number: 10267574
    Abstract: A heat exchanger transfers heat between first and second material streams. The heat exchanger includes a body portion including vent channels configured to pass the first material stream through the body portion. The body portion further includes feed channels configured to pass the second material stream through the body portion. The feed channels are spaced from and in thermal communication with the vent channels such that at least one of the first and second material streams transfer heat with another one of the first and second material streams. Each of the feed channels has an inlet having a crosssectional area with the cross-sectional area of the inlet of at least one of the feed channels different than the cross-sectional area of the inlet of another one of the feed channels for normalizing a flow rate of the second material stream through the feed channels.
