Claims
- 1. A heat exchanger for a cooling tower, said heat exchanger comprising a hollow body:
- (a) that is composed of two at least generally rectangular sheets, each of said two at least generally rectangular sheets having a front, a back, a first side edge, a second side edge, a top edge, and a bottom edge, said first and second side edges said top edge, and said bottom edge of each one of said two at least generally rectangular sheets being laminated to the corresponding edge of the other one of said two at least generally rectangular sheets;
- (b) that is thin and generally flat;
- (c) that is composed of a synthetic resin;
- (d) that has a liquid supplying port formed in said top edges and a liquid discharging port formed in said bottom edges;
- (e) that has a sealing part that extends from the front of one of said two at least generally rectangular sheets to the back of the other one of said two at least generally rectangular sheets and from near to said top edges to near to said bottom edges in parallel to said first and second side edges, between said first side edges and an imaginary line extending from said liquid supplying port to said liquid discharging port, and spaced from said first side edges to form an escape conduit;
- (f) that has a first deflector plate that extends from the front of one of said two at least generally rectangular sheets to the back of the other one of said two at least generally rectangular sheet and from near said second side edges to said sealing part at a point near the end of said sealing part adjacent said top edges and parallel to said top edges;
- (g) that has a plurality of spaced second deflector plates that extend from the front of one of said two at least generally rectangular sheets to the back of the other one of said two at least generally rectangular sheets and from near said second side edges to said sealing part and parallel to said top edges and between said first deflector plate and said bottom edges; and
- (h) that has a plurality of spaced third deflector plates that extend from the front of one of said two at least generally rectangular sheets to the back of the other one of said two at least generally rectangular sheets and from said second side edges to near said sealing part and parallel to said top edges, each one of said third deflector plates being located between two of said second deflector plates or between one of said second deflector plates and said first deflector plate.
- 2. A heat exchanger plate as recited in claim 1 wherein said liquid supplying port is located in the center of said top edges.
- 3. A heat exchanger as recited in claim 2 wherein said liquid discharging port is located in the center of said bottom edges.
- 4. A heat exchanger is recited in claim 1 wherein said liquid discharging port is located in the center of said bottom edges.
- 5. A heat exchanger is recited in claim 1 wherein one of said second deflector plates extends from the end of said sealing part adjacent said bottom edges.
