  • Plate heat exchanger with inlet distributor
    Patent number: 11421939
    Abstract: An inlet distributor for a plate heat exchanger is disclosed. The plate heat exchanger includes a plate set. A fluid channel is formed between each two adjacent plates of the plate set, and each plate has first fluid openings and second fluid openings to form inlet channels and outlet channel for fluid to alternatively flow into and out of the fluid channels. The inlet distributor includes a collecting pipe, and at least one horizontal partition plate disposed on the inner wall of the collecting pipe. The collecting pipe can be mounted on an inlet end of the inlet channel, and the horizontal partition plate is coaxially extended into the inlet channels. When the fluid flows into the collecting pipe, the horizontal partition plate separates liquid and vapor of the fluid and guides the vapor to fluid channel in different position away from the inlet end, along the horizontal partition plate.
