Abstract

A plate heat exchanger has a frame plate, a pressure plate and heat exchange plates clamped therebetween, all suspended from a carrying bar passing through a hole in the pressure plate and extending at least some distance into a corresponding hole in the frame plate. The pressure plate is slidable on the carrying bar. The frame plate and the pressure plate are identical so that the hole for the carrying bar in the frame plate is identical to the hole for the carrying bar in the pressure plate. The carrying bar is fastened in the frame plate by means of a locking device.
