Abstract

A liner tube for an inlet channel of a plate heat exchanger may include an open front side for supplying a refrigerant mass flow, an at least partially closed rear side, and at least two bag-like chambers running in a longitudinal direction of the liner tube. Each chamber may communicate with the open front side, and may have openings at chamber-dependent different positions for distributing the refrigerant mass flow in plate stacks of the plate heat exchanger.
