Abstract

A heat exchanger, such as a cathode recuperator for a high temperature fuel cell system, has a corrugated separator, a barrier and a plurality of flow channels. The corrugated separator has a surface positioned along a heat exchange fluid flow path, opposite ends of the separator having flattened corrugations. The barrier is positioned adjacent the surface. The plurality of flow channels are in the heat exchange fluid flow path and are at least partially defined by the surface and the barrier. The flattened corrugations are positioned adjacent crests in the corrugated separator and secured to the barrier.
