Abstract: A heat exchanger plate for use in a plate package for a heat exchanger device is disclosed. The plate has a geometrical main extension plane (q) and a circumferential edge portion, the circumferential edge portion having a curved upper portion, a substantially straight lower portion and two opposing side portions interconnecting the upper and the lower portions. An upper porthole is arranged in an upper section of the heat exchanger plate and located at a distance from the upper portion of the circumferential edge portion thereby defining an upper intermediate portion. The upper intermediate portion includes the shortest distance (d2) between a centre of the upper porthole and the upper portion of the circumferential edge portion. The heat exchanger plate further comprises an upper flange having an extension along the upper portion of the circumferential edge portion.

Abstract: A plate package for a heat exchanger device includes a plurality of heat exchanger plates of a first type and a plurality of heat exchanger plates of a second type. At least the heat exchanger plates of the first type include, along at least a section of the opposing side portions, a draining channel flange. The draining channel flanges are oriented in one and the same direction such that a draining channel flange of a first heat exchanger plate of the first type abuts or overlaps a draining channel flange of a subsequent heat exchanger plate. The draining channel flanges form outer walls to the outer draining portions thereby transforming the outer draining portions into draining channels. A method of using such plate package in a heat exchanger device and also a heat exchanger device as such are also disclosed.

Abstract: A plate package for a heat exchanger device includes a plurality of heat exchanger plates with mating abutment portions forming a fluid distribution element in every second plate interspace thereby forming in the respective second plate interspaces two arc-shaped flow paths wherein a respective one of the two flow paths is divided into at least three flow path sectors arranged one after the other along a respective flow path. A plate and a heat exchanger are also disclosed.
