  • Patent number: 11971224
    Abstract: A plate-fin heat exchanger, including first plates and second plates, several protrusions being provided on the side of a first plate surface of each first plate, a fin being provided between a second plate surface of each first plate and a first plate surface of the adjacent second plate, and no fin being provided between the side of the first plate where the protrusions are provided and the second plate surface of the adjacent second plate. The heat exchanger increases flow turbulence in first fluid channels by using the fins, and increases flow turbulence in second fluid channels by using a structure of the several protrusions, so that low-pressure fluid can flow through the first fluid channels, and high-pressure fluid can flow through the second fluid channels.
