Abstract

The heat exchanger comprises hexagonal profiled plates (1) with two triangle profiles (6, 7) abutting two opposing sides (10, 11) of a rectangle profile. Flow communication can be achieved between the two triangle profiles. Individual profiled plates with at least one rectangle profile are arranged one above the other, forming channels (12-14) in between for two air flows.
