A heat exchange apparatus is provided which is formed from at least one multilayer presealed element and at least one monolayer element that are insert molded together. The heat exchange apparatus is provided with an inlet and an outlet for a process fluid and at least one inlet and at least one outlet for a heat exchange fluid. The sealing configuration of the presealed elements and the seal provided by the insert molding effect a seal configuration that causes heat to be transferred between the process fluid and the heat exchange fluid while preventing mass transfer between the two fluids.

[ What is claimed is:] [1.] A heat exchange apparatus for effecting heat exchange between a process fluid and a heat exchange fluid comprising:a housing, including a wall and end caps positioned at opposing ends of said housing,at least one module layer including at least one heat a transfer layer having an exterior surface formed of a polymeric composition and at least one first spacer layer formed of a polymeric composition,at least one process fluid inlet for a process fluid and at least one process fluid outlet for said process fluid,at least one heat exchange fluid inlet for a heat exchange fluid and at least one heat exchange fluid outlet for said heat exchange fluid,said at least one module layer being sealed with a thermoplastic polymer composition to form a perimeter seal about said at least one spacer layer and said at least one heat transfer layer to form a first seal which isolates said at least one process fluid inlet and said process fluid outlet from said at least one heat exchange fluid inlet and said at least one heat exchange fluid outlet,at least one second spacer layer formed of a polymeric composition positioned adjacent each said at least one module layer and being insert molded to each other to form a perimeter seal comprising said wall positioned about the periphery of said at least one second spacer layer and said at least one module layer so that said process fluid and said heat exchange fluid can be passed through said apparatus to effect heat transfer between said fluids while preventing mass transfer between said fluids andsaid housing being formed of a polymeric composition and each of said spacer layers being formed of a composition having a thermal conductivity less than about ]EQU4 ]
