    [0001] The invention relates to the field of dual airflow exchangers, of the type permitting a thermal transfer as well as a transfer of moisture between the two air flows passing through the exchanger. Such an exchanger ensuring this double transfer is also commonly referred to as "total exchanger" or "heat exchanger".
    [0002] The invention is preferably applied to the field of treatment and air conditioning systems, for buildings, housing or tertiary. In this application, the exchanger guarantees a heat transfer between the stale air flow and the fresh air flow, but also a transfer of moisture between these two streams, the wettest medium to the driest medium.
    [0003] The invention finds applications in other technical fields, for example in the cryogenic field or that of heat recovery. Such exchangers are widely known from the prior art, in particular documents CA 2 805 541 and WO 2013/091099. It is also known document WO2012 / 045717, which relates to an improved performance enthalpic heat exchanger, essentially thanks to the implementation of cells oriented parallel to the stacking direction of the membranes and air flow networks integrating these cells. However, such exchangers must be further optimized, particularly in terms of compactness and heat transfer performance.
    [0004] To meet this need, the subject of the invention is a double-air-air heat exchanger, allowing a thermal transfer and a transfer of moisture between the two air flows, and comprising a plurality of first and second circulation networks. alternately stacked in a stacking direction and separated in pairs by water-vapor permeable membranes impervious to air and liquid water, each of the first and second circulation networks of air comprising cells each defined by a wall provided with openings for the passage of air, said cell wall comprising two opposite edges at which said cell is open in the stacking direction. According to the invention, for at least one of the first air circulation networks, at least one of the two opposite edges of each cell wall defines an open recess in the direction of the second air circulation network directly. consecutive, said recesses housing part of this second network. Thus, the invention makes it possible to benefit from all the advantages provided by the presence of the cells within the air circulation networks, while offering increased compactness and heat transfer performance. Indeed, the hollows defined by the edges of the cell walls allow an interlocking of the second network in the first network, in the stacking direction. This nesting results in a greater compactness of the exchanger, but also in better thermal performance. This last advantage is explained by the fact that the exchange interface between the two air flows is no longer substantially flat, but structured thanks to the judicious presence of the aforementioned hollows. This structuring allows a design in which the heat exchange is no longer only at the upper and lower ends of the networks in the stack, but also laterally. In other words, the heat exchange surfaces are no longer planes parallel to each other and orthogonal to the stacking direction, but more complex surfaces of non-straight section. Moreover, these heat exchange surfaces can take in section the form of broken lines of the triangle signal type, which, when superimposed in the stacking direction, lead to a so-called checkerboard design, staggered, or the like. This type of design advantageously favors the ratio between the extent of the exchange surface and the overall volume of the exchanger.
    [0005] In addition, it is noted that the presence of the cells in the air circulation networks optimizes the heat transfer between the two air flows. In fact, the cell walls make it possible to constitute a secondary exchange surface. This secondary surface, causing a so-called "fin" effect, is also further increased when some of the faces of these cells remain unperforated. In addition, always because of the specific orientation of the cells, that is to say substantially orthogonal to a main direction of air circulation in the networks, a fluid recirculation is created which optimizes the convective exchanges between the air flow and the membranes. This recirculation can be adapted according to the needs met by judiciously choosing the faces of the cells to be perforated, and those to be preserved. The obstacles created by the cell walls also avoid the formation of a boundary layer in the flow. The invention is also remarkable in that it promotes the transfer of moisture between the two air streams, keeping a large part of the active membranes. Indeed, each membrane permeable to water vapor and impervious to air and liquid water is only in contact with the edges of the cells, which provides a significant remaining useful surface area for the transfer of water vapor. The mechanical strength of the exchanger is also very satisfactory, thanks to the use of honeycomb structures and the specific orientation of its cells. Maintaining the membranes and networks relative to one another is also facilitated by the presence of the depressions. This improved hold provides better sealing and longer life for membranes. The invention also has at least one of the following optional features, taken alone or in combination. For at least one of the second air circulation networks, at least one of the two opposite edges of each cell wall defines an open recess in the direction of the first directly consecutive air circulation network, said recesses accommodating part of this first network. This specificity makes it possible to further increase network nesting, to obtain greater compactness and better thermal transfer performance.
    [0006] The two opposite edges of each cell wall of at least one of the circulation networks each define an open recess in the direction of the directly consecutive network, and housing a part of this directly consecutive network. In this preferred arrangement, the network concerned allows nesting with the two networks located on either side of it. This further increases the compactness and efficiency of heat transfer. Preferably, this double nesting is retained for all the networks of the exchanger, with the exception, of course, of the first and the last network of the stack. The first and second air circulation networks have identical structures, and for at least one directly consecutive first and second network in the stack, the structure of the first network is shifted from the structure of the second network in the orthogonal plane to the stacking direction, to allow the hollows of the first network to house a portion of the second network, and vice versa. The structure identity of the networks facilitates the manufacture of the exchanger. The desired offset between two directly consecutive networks can for example be obtained using two identical elements forming the networks, these two elements then being placed in one direction and then in the other in the stack. Preferably, each first and second air circulation network is made from a mesh which is repeated, the mesh comprising said cell wall, and also preferably comprising a junction rod of the cells. As mentioned above, the mesh is preferably identical for the first and second air circulation networks, in order to obtain the same structures for these networks. Each first and second air circulation network has a plane of symmetry orthogonal to the stacking direction, even if it could be otherwise, without departing from the scope of the invention.
    [0007] The cells are preferably cylindrical of non-circular section and axes parallel to said stacking direction. Preferably, said cell wall has a hexagonal overall shape when viewed in the stacking direction. Other shapes are possible, in particular other polygonal shapes in view according to the stacking direction, without departing from the scope of the invention. With this hexagonal general shape, said cell wall has six faces, including two opposite faces arranged substantially parallel to a main direction of air flow through the network concerned, and two pairs of two faces traversed by the air, the two pairs being connected by said two opposite faces.
    [0008] Said opposite faces of the cells, parallel to the main direction of air flow, follow each other in this same direction, being spaced apart from each other. This intermittence, in the main direction of air circulation, not only makes it possible to ensure a mechanical maintenance of the structure of the exchanger, but it also makes it possible to fulfill a function of improving heat transfer, by a repeated action of turbulence generation. This generation of turbulence is not only conducive to the creation of a recirculation zone, but also limits the risk of creating a boundary layer that could affect the efficiency of heat exchange.
    [0009] Preferably, each said pair comprises two faces of triangular overall shape, the two faces being connected to one another by one of their vertices. This arrangement is particularly suitable for obtaining a so-called checkerboard or staggered configuration, with the aforementioned vertices corresponding to the knots of the checkerboard. Preferably, the rod of the mesh is connected to said vertex, from which it preferably projects in a plane orthogonal to the stacking direction. Preferably, said two opposite faces of the cell wall are solid or perforated. The solid nature of these faces makes it possible to reinforce the mechanical strength and the heat exchanges. However, the implementation of openings in these opposite faces, parallel to the main direction of air flow, can limit the losses. A compromise can naturally be found, depending on the needs encountered. The exchanger comprises, associated with each circulation network, an air distributor and an air collector, said distributors and collectors being stacked in said stacking direction. In the case of a countercurrent design, the distributors and collectors are stacked alternately. On each side of the network stack, the distributors and the collectors can be made using identical elements placed alternately in one direction and then in the other in the stack.
    [0010] As mentioned above, the exchanger is configured so that the flow of air inside the exchanger is preferably carried out against the current, or co-current. A cross-flow solution is possible, but not preferred. Said membranes are preferably made of polymer material or paper, while said networks are preferably metal, but can also be made of polymer material. Finally, the invention also relates to a treatment and air conditioning system comprising an exchanger as described above. Other advantages and features of the invention will become apparent in the detailed non-limiting description below.

    [0011] Referring firstly to Figure 1, there is shown a treatment system and air conditioning 100, equipping a building 102. This system 100 comprises in particular a double airflow exchanger 1, specific to the present invention. Here, the exchanger 1 ensures a heat transfer between the stale air flow A exiting the building 102, and the fresh air flow B entering the same building. In other words, in addition to renewing the air of the building 102, the system 100, thanks to its heat exchanger 1, makes it possible to recover the heat or the freshness contained in the stale air evacuated from the housing, and supply it to the incoming fresh-air flow B. The system 100 thus makes it possible to avoid the waste of energy for the heating or the air-conditioning of the building 102. By way of example, the stale air flow A can present a temperature 22 ° C before leaving the building, and the fresh air flow B can have a temperature of 0 ° C before entering the building. After heat transfer in the exchanger, the flow B can reach 20 ° C leaving the exchanger and entering the building, and the flow A can be cooled to a temperature of 2 ° C out of the exchanger and of the building. In this case, in heating mode, the incoming air is cold and dry, and the exchanger makes it possible to humidify and preheat this incoming dry air to acceptable thermal comfort conditions. At the same time, the stale air cools down and releases some of its moisture. Nevertheless, other modes of operation are possible. Firstly, in air conditioning mode with the hot and humid incoming air, the heat exchanger makes it possible to dehumidify and freshen this incoming air to acceptable thermal comfort conditions. The stale air heats up and gets wet. In addition, in air conditioning mode with hot and dry incoming air, the exchanger allows humidifying and refreshing the incoming air to acceptable thermal comfort conditions. In fact, the stale air heats up and discharges here a part of its moisture.
    [0012] To allow flow A and B flow, the system 100 is completed by two fans 104, shown schematically in Figure 1. As mentioned above, the heat exchanger 1 is also designed to ensure moisture transfer between these two flows A and B, from the wettest medium to the driest medium. This exchanger 1 is therefore called total heat exchanger or enthalpic heat exchanger. In Figures 2 to 4, there is shown the heat exchanger 1, which comprises an outer casing 106 closed by a cover 108, these two elements forming a space in which is housed the core of the exchanger. This core consists of a stack 110 of membranes and air circulation networks, as will be detailed below. In addition, on either side of the stack 110, there are provided distributors and air collectors cooperating with the networks, so as to ensure the distribution and collection of the two air streams A and B. The distributors and the collectors, the design of which will be detailed later, bear the numerals 112, 114 in FIGS. 2 and 3. With reference now to FIGS. 5 to 8, the design of the stack 110 forming the core of FIG. the exchanger. This stack 110 comprises a plurality of first and second air circulation networks 2a, 2b, stacked on each other in a stacking direction 4. The networks 2a, 2b are arranged alternately in the direction 4, and respectively provided for the circulation of the stale flow A and the flow of the incoming new flow B, as shown schematically by the arrows in Figure 7 '. The exchanger is countercurrent, namely that the flow direction of the flow A in the networks 2a is substantially opposite to the direction of flow of the flow B within the networks 2b. Between networks 2a and 2b directly consecutive in the direction 4, there is provided a polymer membrane 6 permeable to water vapor and impermeable to air and liquid water. It is therefore through these membranes 6 separating the networks two by two that the moisture transfer occurs between the two flows A and B. Such membranes 6 are also called "waterproof-breathable membranes". The membranes 6 interposed between the networks 2a, 2b are carried by them. As indicated above, the stack 110 is inserted into the casing 106 of the exchanger to allow its maintenance, and conventional seals are placed at the periphery of the stack 110 to seal and prohibit communication between networks 2a and networks 2b. In this preferred embodiment, each membrane 6 has a uniform cross section, defining a broken line of the triangle signal type. In other words, in section along a cutting plane orthogonal to the length "L" of the stack 110, each membrane 6 has alternately, according to the width "I" of this stack, recesses and shaped projections of triangle. In addition, two directly consecutive membranes 6 in the stack are shifted by half a period according to the width "I", so that the vertices of the triangles are found facing each other in pairs in the stacking direction 4 , as is perfectly visible in Figure 6. The vertices are here very close to each other, which leads to the formation of a checkerboard type design. In this type of design, in section along a plane orthogonal to the length "L" of the stack 110, the stacked membranes 6 define rhombic channels which together form a sort of checkerboard. More specifically, each first network 2a has rhombic channels 2a ', these channels being arranged end-to-end in the direction "I", being connected by their vertices. In a similar manner, each second network 2b has rhombic channels 2b ', these channels being also arranged end-to-end in the "I" direction, being connected by their vertices. One of the advantages of this checker-type configuration lies in the fact that each channel 2a 'is in contact with four channels 2b' at its four sides, of which two channels 2b 'belonging to the network 2b directly above in the stacking, and of which two other channels 2b 'belonging to the network 2b directly lower in the stack. It is obviously the same for any channel 2b ', which is in contact with four channels 2a' at its four sides.
    [0013] With this arrangement, the exchange surface is increased, and the compactness improved. It is also noted that it is not specifically sought a seal between the different channels of the same network, air can indeed go from one to the other through the place where the membranes approach strongly, namely at their vertices forming the knots of the checkerboard. It is noted that this checkerboard-type design can also be observed in view in the "L" direction as that of FIG. 6, the "L" direction also corresponding to the main direction of air flow through the networks as well as the direction of extension of the channels 2a 'and 2b'.
    [0014] The networks 2a, 2b have identical structures, made from the same mesh repeated in the plane of each network concerned. As can be seen in FIGS. 5 to 8, the structures of the arrays 2a, 2b consist essentially of cavities 12a, 12b with axes 14a, 14b parallel to the stacking direction 4. These cells are cylindrical with a non-circular section. , open on both sides in the stacking direction 4. More specifically, each cell 12a, 12b here takes a hexagonal overall shape when viewed in the stacking direction 4. Nevertheless, the thickness of the The cell in the direction 4 is not uniform, and this to allow to adapt to the complex shape in hollow and triangular protrusions of the membranes 6, as will now be described with reference to Figures 9 to 12.
    [0015] Indeed, these figures show the mesh 16a for the manufacture of the first network 2a. As indicated above, the mesh is the same for the manufacture of the second network 2b, of identical structure. Also, only the mesh 16a will be described below. Moreover, it is noted that throughout the rest of the description, and in the figures, the elements bearing numerical references ending in the letter "b" correspond to elements of the mesh of the network 2b, identical to the elements of the mesh of the network 2a bearing the same numerical references, and followed by the letter "a". The mesh 16a has a plane of symmetry 17a which is orthogonal to the direction 4, and therefore also orthogonal to the axis 14a. This plane of symmetry 17a therefore constitutes a plane of symmetry for the entire network 2a, after repetition of the meshes 16a.
    [0016] The mesh 16a has a cell wall 18a defining the cell 12a above. To achieve the hexagonal general shape, the cell wall 18a has six flat faces, parallel to the direction 4. It is first of two opposite faces 20a arranged substantially parallel to the main direction of circulation of the air through the network concerned, that is to say in the direction "L" which also extend the channels. It is then two pairs of two faces 22a traversed by the air, and therefore being perforated as much as possible, to limit the losses. Of course, the two pairs of faces 22a are connected to each other by the two opposite faces 20a.
    [0017] The faces 22a are each substantially triangular, connected two by two by one of their vertices 24a. Also, for obtaining the triangular shape and the perforated character, each face 22a has a base corresponding to the edge of the adjacent face 20, and two straight armatures respectively forming the two sides of the triangle converging towards the apex 24a with the other face 22a of the couple. The two vertices 24a are then on the plane of symmetry 17a, at the future nodes of the checkerboard. The armatures allow them to define openings 26a for the passage of air at the entrance of the cell in the direction "L", and the exit of the cell in the same direction. The cell wall 18a has two opposite edges 30a at which the cell is open in the stacking direction 4. These edges 30a are also called edges, or slices. One of the peculiarities of the invention lies in the fact of structuring these songs, so that they are no longer respectively inscribed in two parallel planes, as in the prior art. More precisely, each edge 30a defines a recess 32a in the cell wall 18, this recess being open in the direction 4, in the direction of the network directly opposite in the stack. As will be detailed below, the presence of these hollows 32a allows the nesting of the first and second networks 2a, 2b, and thus obtaining the checkerboard configuration.
    [0018] The mesh 16a further comprises a connecting rod 28a which protrudes from one of the apices 24a, substantially in the direction "L" and in the plane of symmetry 17a, namely orthogonal to the direction of Stacking 4. Referring now to Figure 13, the meshes 16a are repeated as many times as necessary to obtain the network 2a. To do this, in the "I" direction, each face 20a of a cell wall 18a is superimposed on a face 20a of an adjacent mesh. On the other hand, in the other direction "L", the end of the connecting rod 28a is connected to the adjacent mesh, on the top 24a devoid of rod. Moreover, for the manufacture of the networks 2a, 2b, it is noted that the materials envisaged are polymeric and metallic materials, while the membranes 6 are in turn preferably made of a polymer material or paper. For the manufacture of networks 2a, 2b, the machining technique, although possible, is not preferred. Two other manufacturing techniques are preferred. In both cases, partitioning options of the final network can be considered, especially if its dimensions are important. The first technique is the injection technique, preferably the plastic injection. Given the geometric complexity of the air circulation networks, the partitioning can take place on the one hand in the directions "L" and "I", but also especially in the direction of the height, corresponding to the direction 4 Also, a complete network can be an assembly of several parts, for example by mechanical fastening, or by thermal welding. Metal injection, in particular aluminum injection, can also be envisaged, for example using a sand mold. Here too, partitioning is preferred for obtaining the final network, forming a separator between two directly consecutive membranes in the stack. The other preferred technique is that of so-called additive manufacturing, or else 3D printing. It applies equally to obtaining a metal network or in a polymer material. Here too, a partitioning can be considered, before arriving at a final network. As an indication, 3D printing of parts or assemblies of parts can be carried out directly in breathable polymer materials, where the membrane and the air circulation network would be one piece. Referring now to Figures 14 and 15, when the membranes 6 and the networks 2a, 2b are obtained, they are stacked in the direction 4. As mentioned above, this stack is performed so that the networks 2a, 2b are nested one inside the other, thanks to the presence of the troughs 32a at the ends of the cell walls. For two directly consecutive networks 2a, 2b, the desired nesting is obtained by shifting the two identical structures by half a mesh pitch in the direction of the width "I". Taking into account firstly that the structure of the two networks 2a, 2b has the same width in the direction "I", and secondly that as shown in Figure 7, each of them has a lateral end consisting of whole meshes, as well as an opposite lateral end consisting of half-meshes, the desired offset can be easily obtained by placing the first network 2a in one direction and the second network 2b in the other direction. In other words, it is enough to return every other network in the stack, to obtain the desired offset between each stage in this stack. By proceeding in this way, at the edges 30a of the meshes 16a of the first network, the recesses 32a are filled in large part by the links 16b of the adjacent network 2b. More precisely, each recess 32a of a first network 2a receives two half-walls of two adjacent cells of the second network 2b, these two half-walls being also received, on the opposite side, by the recess 32a belonging to the following network 2a in stacking. It is the same for each hollow 32b of a second network 2b which receives two half-walls of two adjacent cells of the first network 2a, these two half-walls being also received, on the opposite side, by the hollow 32b belonging to the next 2b network in the stack. It follows that each channel 2b 'of the network 2b, one of which is gray in FIGS. 14 and 15, is delimited between two series of recesses 32a open towards each other, and whose mechanical resistance is ensured by two adjacent half-links 16b in the "I" direction. Each channel 2b 'is therefore generally delimited laterally by the vertices 24b of two directly consecutive meshes 16b and delimited in the height direction by the vertices 24a of two meshes 16a located one above the other in the stack. With this arrangement, it is thus found the shape of the rhombic channel 2b ', whose four corners respectively correspond to the four vertices 24b, 24b, 24a, 24a above. Of course, a similar geometry is also observed for each channel 2a 'of the first air circulation network 2a. On the other hand, it is noted that no offset is made in the direction "L" between two directly consecutive networks 2a, 2b, as is best seen in FIG. 15. The faces 20a are thus aligned with each other. others in the direction 4, and spaced from each other in the direction "L" in each channel 2a '. It is the same for the faces 20b aligned with each other in the direction 4, and spaced from each other in the direction "L" in each channel 2b '. The upstream edge of each of these faces 20a, 20b, parallel to the air flow direction in the channels, causes a fluid recirculation which optimizes the convective exchanges between the air flow and the membranes.
    [0019] Multiple arrangements of shapes are possible on the elements described above. It may for example be the faces 20a of which three examples of alternatives have been shown in Figures 16a to 16c. In these embodiments, the faces 20a are no longer solid, but have been perforated to limit the losses. In Figure 16a, the central opening is defined by a frame forming the face 20a. In Figures 16b and 16c, the frame is equipped with an internal mechanical reinforcement, crosswise, to improve the mechanical strength of the network supporting the adjacent membranes. Identical or similar solutions are also possible for the faces 20b of the cell walls of the second networks 2b. An assembly of two networks 2a, 2b, incorporating perforated faces 20a, 20b as in FIG. 16a, has been represented in FIG. 17. In this assembly, a reduced length of the connecting rods 28a is also provided. This length of rod is indeed adjustable according to the needs encountered, and can therefore also be increased if necessary, as has been shown on the network 2a of Figure 18. Figures 19a to 19c also show different possible angles in view according to the direction 4 at the top 24a ensuring the junction between the rod 28a and the pair of faces 22a. The angle α1 and angle α2 are preferably always the same, while the angle α3 between the two faces 22a of the torque may vary. On the first solution of Figure 19a, leading to a perfect hexagonal shape seen from the stacking direction 4, the angles al, a2 and a3 are equal. Nevertheless, as shown in Fig. 19b, the angle α3 may be larger than the angles α1, α2, as well as the angle α3 may be smaller than these same angles α1, α2, as shown in Fig. 19c. Referring now to Figures 20 to 26, there is shown another preferred embodiment, wherein the air flow networks 2a, 2b are obtained using a different mesh. The mesh 16a differs from that described above by the shape of the pairs of faces 22a. Indeed, when viewed in the direction of the length "L", the perforated faces 22a are each in the form of a right isosceles triangle, the right angle being at the level of the connecting vertex 24a. Also, when the meshes 16a are arranged adjacently in the direction "I", two half-links 16a directly consecutive form a channel 2a 'of square section. This leads to a global checkerboard pattern for the channels 2a ', 2b', as can be seen in FIG. 26. Referring now to FIGS. 27 to 33, there is shown yet another preferred embodiment, in which the networks 2a, 2b of air circulation are obtained using a different mesh. The mesh 16a differs from that described above by the shape of the pairs of faces 22a. Indeed, when viewed in the direction of the length "L", the triangular faces 22a have a lower side which is in the plane of the lower slices of the opposite faces 20a. The vertex 24a which connects these two faces are also arranged on the same plane, implying that the mesh 16a no longer has a plane of symmetry orthogonal to the direction 4. This also implies that each network is uniquely structured at the level of one of its lower or upper surfaces, but is no longer structured at its two opposite surfaces. In other words, the hollows 32a are only present in the upper part of the mesh, but more in the lower part.
    [0020] With this configuration, it is ensured that when the meshes 16a are arranged adjacently in the direction "I", two directly consecutive half-meshes 16a form a channel 2a 'of triangular section, more precisely in the shape of an equilateral triangle, as shown in Figure 31. This no longer leads to a global form of checkerboard for the channels 2a ', 2b', but rather to a provision in any of the channels 2a ', 2b' of two networks 2a, 2b directly consecutive as shown in Figure 33. In this case, the nesting of networks is almost total, and it is therefore two by two. This means that between each pair of nested networks, the membrane 6 remains flat.
    [0021] FIGS. 34 to 38 show yet another embodiment, in which the air circulation networks 2a, 2b are obtained by means of a different mesh, making it possible to obtain corrugated channels 2a ', 2b' according to the direction "L". The channels are therefore no longer right in the latter direction as in the previous embodiments, but corrugated so as to further increase the exchange surfaces. Naturally, the membranes 6 arranged between the networks 2a, 2b also have such a corrugation, in the stacking direction 4. To do this, each mesh 16a is also corrugated in the direction 4, as is best seen in the figure 37. It has a rounded connecting rod 28a, and opposite faces 20a also having a curvature at its edges 30a. For each face 20a, there follows a concave edge 30a, and an opposite convex edge 30a defining the recess 32a. Within the same network, the meshes 16a are all placed in the same direction, for example that of Figure 34 with the concave songs 30a always facing upwards. Whatever the design chosen, it is noted that the stack has for example twenty networks 2a, 2b superimposed, and nineteen membranes 6 interposed between these networks. The maximum height of the channels 2a ', 2b' may be of the order of 5 mm, while the thicknesses of the faces 20a, 22a and rods 28a may be of the order of 0.5 mm. As mentioned above with reference to FIG. 1, the exchanger 1 comprises, on either side of the stack 110, distributors and air collectors cooperating with the networks, so as to ensure the distribution and collection of the two air streams A and B. On each side of the stack 110 in the direction "L", there is provided another stack in which the distributors and the collectors are arranged alternately, in the direction 4. This alternation is indeed chosen to ensure the flow against the current within the heart of the exchanger. As for the networks 2a, 2b, on each side of the stack of these networks, the distributors 112 and collectors 114 have identical structures, and are stacked alternately in one direction and then in the other, in order to obtain the offset a half-step allowing their nesting. On the other hand, for each network, the collector and the distributor associated with this network differ. Indeed, the rectangular air inlet 121a of the distributor and the rectangular air outlet 121b of the collector, which will be described below, are symmetrically opposite with respect to the central axis of the exchanger. This allows a balancing of the aeraulic paths for a good irrigation of each channel. Figures 39 to 41 show an embodiment for one of the air distributors 112 of triangular overall shape. This distributor 112 has a triangular hollow body 120a with a rectangular air inlet 121a on one of its sides for the admission of the flow A, and an internal volume 122a. At another side of the triangular hollow body 120a, there is provided a row of air passages 124a opening into the interior volume 122a, each passage 124a being defined by a diamond or square wall 126a complementary to that channels 2a 'present within networks 2a. As has been shown in FIGS. 42 and 43, the distal end of the walls 126a is indented, preferably in a triangular view in the stacking direction 4, so as to fit properly with the structure of the associated network 2a. , and so that each channel 2a 'is opposite one of the passages 124a.
    [0022] The seal may be provided by a seal (not shown) running on the outer surface of the walls 126a, section of the triangle type signal. The seal is then placed below or above the membrane 6 covering this outer surface of the row of walls 126a. Referring to Figures 44 and 45, there is shown one of the manifolds 114 identical in design to that of the distributor 112, but returned to fit with the latter. Also, the air manifold 114, of triangular overall shape, has a triangular hollow body 120b with a rectangular air outlet 121b on one of its sides for the evacuation of the flow B, and an interior volume 122b. At another side of the triangular hollow body 120b, there is provided a row of air passages 124b opening into the internal volume 122a, each passage 124b being defined by a wall 126b diamond or square shape complementary to that 2b 'channels present in the networks 2b. Due to its inverted position relative to the distributor 112, the diamond / square walls 126b of the collector 114 interlock with the recess defined between the diamond / square walls 126a of the distributor 112. As shown in FIG. each channel 2b 'to be opposite one of the air passages defined by the walls 126a. In addition, the nesting of the manifold 114 and the distributor 112 makes it possible to ensure the compression of the aforementioned seal, between the outer surfaces facing the walls 126a, 126b.
    [0023] Of course, various modifications may be made by those skilled in the art to the invention which has just been described, solely as non-limiting examples.
