A device for exchange of energy and/or mass transfer between fluid flows

摘要

The presentdisclosure relates to a device for exchange of energyand/or mass transfer between fluid flows, which device comprises a first fluid inlet (3a), a first fluid outlet (3c), a second fluid inlet (5a), a second fluid outlet (5c), a plurality of first channel layers (3) connecting the first fluid inlet (3a) with the first fluid outlet (3c), and a plurality of second channel layers (5) connecting the second fluid inlet (5a) with the second fluid outlet (5c), wherein the plurality of first channel layers (3) and the plurality of second channel layers (5) are arranged in a stacked manner forming stacked fluid channels (2), wherein at least some of the first channel layers (3) are in physical contact with a respective second channel layer (5) thereby forming channel pairs, wherein the channel pairs are spaced apart from each other, whereby cross-current channels (7) are formed therebetween, extending from one lateral side (9)of the stacked fluid channels (2) to the opposite lateral side (11) of the stacked fluid channels (2), thereby forming lateral fluid inlets (13) between lateral edges of first channel layers (3) and second channel layers (5) and lateral fluid outlets between opposite lateral edges of first channel layers (3) and second channel layers (5).
