- a disadvantage of this construction is that between the individual pipe sections unused spaces arise and the curved deflection sections are usually outside of the space occupied by the actual network and are not involved in the heat exchange.
- the dividing walls are formed by the webs and / or flanges of profiles arranged between the plates with I- and / or U-shaped cross sections ( EP 1 304 536 A2 ). If the flow channels are produced according to a first variant by means of a plurality of I-profiles, which are connected to the plates by soldering, then these profiles od before the soldering at least two points by laser welding. Like, are connected to the plates, to exclude relative position changes between the plates and the profiles during the dipping and tilting processes required during the soldering process.
- the flow channels are formed according to a second variant as U-shaped grooves in solid, plane-parallel plates, these and the deflection zones must be produced by milling, in particular track milling. Both variants cause comparatively high production costs, which are not always sustainable.

This creates between these plates 4 passes 8.
- Am in Fig. 3 left end, the upper strips 6 are slightly shorter, so that between their left ends and the strips 5 respectively gaps 9 arise, can enter laterally through the air in the direction of a dashed arrow 10.

Because of the basis of the Fig. 4 to 7 described arrangement of the recesses 36 are doing the two recesses 36 of the partitions 32b, 32d from and three in Fig. 9 invisible recesses 36 of the partitions 32a, 32c and 32e to lie behind. This is best off Fig. 11 recognizable.
