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 20):
The method of  claim 19  further comprising:\n stacking a third plurality of parting sheets, a third plurality of lengthwise closure bars, and a third plurality of widthwise closure bars to form a third heat exchanger section with at least one widthwise passage extending between a pair of the third plurality of widthwise closure bars and at least one lengthwise passage extending between a pair of the third plurality of lengthwise closure bars; \n cutting a first side and/or a second side of the third heat exchanger section to taper the first side and/or second side of the third heat exchanger section; and \n brazing the first side of the third heat exchanger section to the second side of the first heat exchanger section, \n wherein brazing the third heat exchanger section to the first heat exchanger section forms a second bend in the heat exchanger.
