Abstract: The invention describes a method for producing a plate heat exchanger 1. Wavy profiled sheets 9 and separating sheets 10, together with sidebars 11, are stacked one above the other, provided with solder and soldered together in such a way that a block 2 is obtained. The block is closed off outwardly by means of the cover sheets 12. The contours of the intermediate pieces 3 are milled out at the respective positions 4 on the block 2 thus obtained. In a refinement of the invention, frames are used as intermediate pieces 3. The frames 3 are positioned in the milled-out portions at the positions 4, provided with solder and tacked on by means of spot welding. Subsequently, in a second step, the frames 3 are soldered onto the heat exchanger block 2. The headers 5a and 5b are in each case welded onto the frames 3.

Abstract: The invention describes a plate heat exchanger and a method for producing a plate heat exchanger. The plate heat exchanger consists of a multiplicity of passages 1a, 1b which are arranged in stack form and which are separated from one another by separating sheets 2. The passages 1a and 1b in this case consist of a multiplicity of hollow profiles 5 arranged next to one another.
