Abstract: The present invention relates to a plate heat exchanger for treatment of a feed. The plate heat exchanger includes a plate package comprising a plurality of heat exchanging plates and defining a heating volume, a cooling volume and a plurality of process volumes. Each of the process volumes includes an evaporation section for evaporation of a part of the feed, a separation section for separating a non-evaporated part from an evaporated part of the feed, and a condensation section being arranged to condense the evaporated part of the feed. Each heat exchanging plate defines a first thermal interface between the heating volume and the evaporation section of a first process volume, a second thermal interface between the cooling volume and the condensation section of a second process volume, and at least one further thermal interface between an evaporation section and a condensation section of two adjacent process volumes.

Abstract: The invention relates to a plate heat exchanger for treatment of a medium, comprising a number of compression-molded heat exchanger plates, which are successively provided in a plate package and which form first plate interspaces and second plate interspaces, wherein the first plate interspaces and the second plate interspaces are provided in an alternating order in the plate package, where the inlet and outlets of the heat exchanger plate located in a center portion of the plate heat exchanger, and where the plate package is arranged between end plates on each side of the plate package, where at least one of the end plates are provided with connections in a center portion of the at least one end plate and that the location of the connections on the at least one end plate correspond to the location of the inlet and outlets of the heat exchanger plate.
