Heat Exchanger cut-a-away pics

what i'm curious about is that the end cap fluid separator doesn't appear to make a seal. i have no idea in what quantity, but wouldn't that mean that hot and cold fluid would be mixing on the end?
seems like that would be sealed off between the cores
maybe all of them are like that, i have no idea... never looked at the inside of one

You guys should be able to tell the direct comparison between the two, the bar and plate Heat exchanger is a cheap POS. Like mentioned, not sealed between the tanks giving you hot / cold mix. And a less than ideal air to coolant surface area to reduce the temperatures vs. the zzp S2 and S3 heat exchangers. Which look to be sealed alot better and have more surface area with larger cores giving much improved heat transfer. I dont believe ZZP uses a bar and plate HE. OTTP does for sure and maybe others.

Bar and Plate design intercooler. Conmverted to hold coolant instead.
Same thing OTTP has. Not sure if the cores or anything are the same. But, same/similar design.
