Abstract:
A method for manufacturing a heat exchanger includes stacking a plurality of parting sheets, a plurality of lengthwise closure bars, and a plurality of widthwise closure bars to form a rectangular first heat exchanger section. The first heat exchanger section includes at least one widthwise passage extending between a pair of the widthwise closure bars and at least one lengthwise passage extending between a pair of the lengthwise closure bars. The method also includes brazing the rectangular first heat exchanger section together and cutting a first side and a second side of the rectangular first heat exchanger section to give the first heat exchanger section a tapered-trapezoid profile. The method further includes brazing an end of a second heat exchanger section to the first or second side of the first heat exchanger section.

Claim (Index 1):
A heat exchanger comprising:\n a first section comprising:\n a top side opposite a bottom side, wherein the top side is longer than the bottom side; \n a first side extending between the top side and the bottom side; and \n a second side extending between the top side and the bottom side opposite the first side, wherein the first side and the second side taper toward each other as the first side and the second side extend toward the bottom side; \n a second section comprising:\n a top side opposite a bottom side; \n a first side extending between the top side of the second section and the bottom side of the second section; and \n a second side extending between the top side of the second section and the bottom side of the second section opposite the first side of the second section, wherein the second side of the second section is connected to the first side of the first section; and \n a header manifold connected to the first side of the second section.
