Abstract

In a plate heat exchanger for evaporation of a liquid conventional heat exchange plates (3) are used which have an elongated and substantially rectangular form and which have corner portions provided with ports. One corner portion of at least every second heat exchange plate has been removed, and outlet openings (16) from the plate interspaces, in which liquid is to be evaporated, has been created by omitting edge gaskets between the heat exchange plates forming these interspaces in the areas of the removed corner portions.
