Abstract: A heat exchanger plate (2) is described comprising an edge (7), a groove (8) running along the edge (7), a gasket arranged in the groove (8), and a corrugated area (10) having tops (12) and valleys (11) between the groove (8) and the edge (7), wherein tops (12) run substantially perpendicular to the edge (7). In such a heat exchanger plate the gasket should be reliably fixed without affecting the stability of the heat exchanger. To this end, in at least one valley (11) a raised section (14) extends from a bottom area (13) of the valley (11) and the gasket comprises a click-on extension arranged in the valley (11) and having a recess adapted to the raised section (14).

Abstract: The present invention relates to a plate-and-shell heat exchanger (100) having a stack of plate pairs (50, 60) positioned in a shell (20), where the stack of plate pairs (50, 60) includes a plurality of plate pairs of a first type (50) and a plurality of plate pairs of a second type (60). Each plate pair (50, 60) has two heat transfer plates (10) being connected to each other and forming a cavity (11) there between, and forming an inlet opening (13a, 13b) and an outlet opening (13?a, 13?b). First inner flow paths (12a) are formed through the first inlet openings (13a), the cavities (11) of the plate pairs of the first type (50) and the first outlets (13?a). Second inner flow paths (12b) are formed through the second inlet openings (13b), the cavities (11) of the plate pairs of the second type (60) and the second outlets (13?b). A third outer flow path (22) is defined within the shell and between plate pairs of the first type (50) and plate pairs of the second type (60).

Abstract: A spiral heat exchanger is formed of at least two sheets extending along a spiral-shaped path around a common centre body and separated to form at least a first and a second spiral-shaped substantially parallel flow channels extending and enabling flow communication between a radially outer orifice and a radially inner orifice. The centre body includes a wall body with a first conduit at the inner surface of the wall body being in fluid connection to the first flow channel, and a second conduit formed at the outer surface of the wall body and being in fluid connection to the second flow channel.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a plate heat exchanger formed of a plate stack of patterned heat transfer plates arranged on top of each other and positioned within a shell and defining a first flow path and a second flow path between the plates. Outer distribution chambers are formed in the space between the other edges of the heat transfer plates and the inside wall of the shell being in fluid communication to the first flow path and first port connections. The present invention introduces a baffle adjustable positioned in an outer distribution chamber separating it into two outer sub-chambers forming a flow barrier.

Abstract: A plate-type heat exchanger is described comprising a stack of heat exchanger plates (2b) forming a first flow path and a second flow path, wherein each heat exchanger plate (2b) comprises an opening (7b) in an opening area (8b), the opening area (8b) being connected to one of the two flow paths and sealed against the other of the two flow paths by means of a gasket arrangement (11b). Such a plate-type heat exchanger should be suitable for high pressures without increasing the risk of leakages. To this end a support element (15) is arranged in the sealed opening area (8b).

Abstract: The invention relates to a plate-and-shell heat exchanger apparatus and a channel blocking plate for a plate-and-shell heat exchanger. The heat exchanger comprises a shell and a plurality of heat transfer plates within the shell. The plates form fluidly connected first cavities for providing a first fluid flow path for a first fluid flow. The shell forms a second cavity in which the plates are arranged and a second fluid flow path is provided for a second fluid flow, separated from the first fluid flow path by the plates. The heat exchanger comprises means for reducing detrimental bypass flows within the heat exchanger.

Abstract: The present invention relate to a spiral heat exchanger formed of at least two sheets extending along a spiral-shaped path around a common centre body and separated to form at least a first and a second spiral-shaped substantially parallel flow channels extending and enabling flow communication between a radially outer orifice and a radially inner orifice, characterized in that the centre body comprises a wall body with an first conduit at the inner surface of the wall body being in fluid connection to the first flow channel, and an second conduit formed at the outer surface of the wall body and being in fluid connection to the second flow channel.

Abstract: Stamping of a layer (2) of package material, such as cardboard or plastics, for forming one or more bending edges may take place according to the invention by a method wherein a stamping tool (8), which is provided with preferably three ribs (9a, b, c), is pressed down into the layer (2) and thereby forms slots (11a, b, c) in the bending edge in one working cycle. The stamping may take place very precisely, and since the stamping is carried out in one working cycle, an uprecedentedly high production rate may be achieved. Since the stamping tool does not need a lower tool part, but merely a support (10), the stamping may be performed simultaneously with the punching in one and the same working cycle.

Abstract: Plate heat exchanger (1) comprising a plurality of rectangular plate elements (2) and intermediary gaskets (3) held clamped in a stack (4). At least two diagonally opposed corners (7) of each plate (2) in the stack (4), comprise depressed corner areas, which are connected to the inner plate area at a concave bending line (9). The outer contour of the depressed corner area of a plate (2) in the stack (4) is in positive engagement with the inner contour of the depressed corner area of the next following plate (2) in the stack (4). This ensures alignment of the stack, both during assembly and during subsequent use.
