  • Patent number: 7669643
    Abstract: A device, including a heat exchanger plate and a plate package (2) of heat exchanger plates (1) which are provided beside each other to form a plate interspace between adjacent plates. The plate interspaces form, in an alternating order, first passages (3) for a first medium and second passages (4) for a second medium which cools the first medium. Each heat exchanger plate has at least two portholes forming a first inlet port channel and a first outlet port channel (7), which extend through the plate package to a first inlet and a first outlet, respectively, for the first medium to and from the first passages (3). The first outlet forms a gas outlet (31) for discharging a gaseous portion of the first medium and a liquid outlet (32) for discharge of liquid of the first medium. The liquid outlet (32) is separated from the gas outlet (31) to permit separate discharge of the liquid and gaseous portions.

  • Patent number: 6164371
    Abstract: The present invention constitutes a plate heat exchanger for three heat exchanging fluids. The heat exchanger includes at least one core of plates with heat exchanging plates (1-4), at least two end plates (5) and inlets and outlets (6) for the heat exchanging fluids, each one of the heat exchanging plates (1-4) being provided with six port holes (11-16). The plate heat exchanger has port holes (11-16) that are pairwise aimed for the flowing through of the respective heat exchanging fluids where the port holes (11-16) in every such pair are situated on both sides of a heat transferring part in such a way that a straight line drawn between the centers of the port holes (11-16) divides the heat transferring part into two similar parts.
