Abstract: The invention relates to a plate heat exchanger including a plate package, which includes a number of first and second heat exchanger plates which are joined to each other and arranged side by side in such a way that first and second plate interspaces are formed. At least two injectors are provided, each injector being arranged to supply a first fluid to at least one of the first plate interspaces in the at least one plate package and at least one valve is arranged to control the supply of the first fluid to the at least two injectors.

Abstract: A plate package made according to the method includes first heat exchanger plates and second heat exchanger plates. Each heat exchanger plate has a first porthole, and the port hole of at least one of the heat exchanger plates is surrounded by a peripheral rim. The first heat exchanger plates and the second heat exchanger plates, are joined to each other and arranged side by side in such a way that the peripheral rims together define an inlet channel extending through the plate package. The peripheral rim of the first and/or the second heat exchanger plates has at least one through hole, forming a fluid passage allowing a communication between the inlet channel and the first plate interspaces. The at least one through hole is made in a condition in which the first and the second heat exchanger plates have been joined to each other to form the plate package.

Abstract: A plate heat exchanger includes a plurality of heat exchanger plates formed of a metal sheet and permanently joined to each other by means of a braze material to form a plate package having first plate interspaces and second plate interspaces. Each heat exchanger plate has a pattern forming a heat transfer area and a plurality of porthole areas. Each heat exchanger plate extends along a main extension plane. The areas extend, on one side of the heat exchanger plate, between a primary level at a distance from the main extension plane and a secondary level at a distance from and on an opposite side of the main extension plane. Each heat exchanger plate has a depth defined by the distance between the primary level and the secondary level. The depth is equal to or less than 1.0 mm.

Abstract: A plate heat exchanger including a plurality of heat exchanger plates joined to each other. Each plate has a heat transfer area, a first porthole area, a second porthole area, a third porthole area and a fourth porthole area. Each porthole area surrounds a porthole having a porthole edge. Each porthole area comprises an annular flat area, a set of inner portions on the annular flat area along the porthole edge, and a set of outer portions along the annular flat area at a distance from the inner portions. The outer portions of the first porthole area have a first relative peripheral position with respect to the inner portions. The outer portions of the fourth porthole area have a second relative peripheral position with respect to the inner portions. The first relative peripheral position includes a peripheral displacement in relation to the second relative peripheral position.

Abstract: A plate heat exchanger includes a plurality of heat exchanger plates. The plates are provided beside each other and permanently joined to each other to form a plate package having first plate interspaces and second plate interspaces. Each plate has a heat transfer area and four porthole areas defined by a porthole edge. Each of the porthole areas includes an annular flat area located at one of a primary and secondary level, and a set of inner portions on the annular flat area at the other of the primary and secondary level. Each inner portion has an inner part adjoining the porthole edge and an outer segment adjoining the inner part and having an angular extension of at least 180°. The outer segment has a continuous contour and a radius R, which is allowed to vary within the range 0.8R?R?1.2R.

Abstract: A plate heat exchanger including a plurality of heat exchanger plates (1), a first end plate and a second end plate. The plates are permanently joined to each other by means of a braze material. Each heat exchanger plate has a heat transfer area and a plurality of porthole areas surrounding a respective porthole. The plate heat exchanger including a plurality of having a bottom surface turned towards the heat exchanger plates. At least one of the flat elements including an annular protrusion extending from the bottom surface and tightly abutting one of the porthole areas of the outermost heat exchanger plate.

Abstract: The invention relates to a plate heat exchanger that includes a plurality of first and second heat exchanger plates provided beside each other for forming a plate package having a surrounding edge side and first plate interspaces for a first medium and second plate interspaces for a second medium. A first heat exchanger plate forms, together with a second heat exchanger plate, a pair of heat exchanger plates which encloses a first plate interspace. The plate package has a plurality of such pairs. Each heat exchanger plate has two portholes which form ports extending through the plate package and communicating with the first plate interspaces. The second plate interspaces are open through the enclosing edge side. Each first heat exchanger plate includes a first bent part that cooperates with a bent part of a second heat exchanger plate in order to ensure that these two heat exchanger plates take a determined position in relation to each other.
