Claim Text:
1. A heat exchanger ( 30 ) comprising: an outer cover ( 2 ), at least 2 heat transfer modules ( 3 , 100 ), and first and second feed and discharge lines ( 4 , 5 ) connected with the heat transfer modules ( 3 , 100 ) for supply of a cooling or heating agent, wherein said first and second feed or discharge lines ( 4 , 5 ) are brought together within the outer cover ( 2 ) of the heat exchanger ( 30 ), further wherein at least one of said heat transfer modules is a thermal sheet module ( 100 ) comprised of a plurality of thermal sheets, wherein: each of said plurality of thermal sheets is characterized by first and second opposed ends, further wherein each of said plurality of thermal sheets is divided into at least first and second passages ( each of said first and second passages comprises a unique fluid inlet disposed at said first opposed end and unique fluid outlet disposed at said second opposed end; said plurality of thermal sheets are connected such that a first set of first passages share a first common feed line ( the thermal sheet module circulates at least a first cycle of media through said first set of first passages and a second cycle of media through said second set of second passages, wherein said first and second cycles of media differ in terms of volume flow, flow rate, flow direction, temperature profile, heat capacity, state of aggregation, heating agent or cooling agent, wherein at least one of said rolling or welding seams (
