Abstract
A combined evaporator and condenser (1100) is manufactured from a number of stacked heat exchanger plates (980) provided with a pressed pattern of ridges and grooves for keeping the plates on a distance from one another for creating interplate flow channels (1180, 1200). The evaporator portion (1120, 1150) of the combined evaporator and condenser (1100) has a coolant outlet connectable to an expansion valve (R), and a connection between the condenser portion and the expansion valve (R) runs through the evaporator portion.
