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).
