Abstract
A plate type heat exchanger for an oil cooler includes at least two heat exchanger members, each enclosing a respective first cavity (C1). The plate type heat exchanger includes at least one inlet port (20, 22), for feeding a medium to the first cavities and at least one output port (21, 23) for extracting the medium from the first cavities (C1). The plate type heat exchanger includes at least one mounting member (13, 14), which is attached to an outside of an outermost one, as seen in a stacking direction (Z), of the heat exchanger members. A second cavity (C2) is formed between the at least two heat exchanger members. A reinforcement plate (30, 31) is located on an inside of the outermost one of the heat exchanger members, and at least partially overlapping the mounting member (13, 14).
