I don't recommending trying to operate them in
parallel.  The output voltage is going to be slightly
different from each supply.  If you do use them, then
you will definitely need to put high current diodes in
series with each of them.  This will result in
approximately a 0.7 volt drop in voltage due to the
characteristics of silicon diodes.

Can I put them in parallel to get the 20 amp current?
Do I need to isolate them with diodes?
