Abstract
A plate heat exchanger for evaporation of a liquid includes a number of thin heat transfer plates (4), provided with corrugation pattern in the form of ridges and grooves, which in each second plate interspace for supply of said liquid have several inlet openings (18) distributed horizontally across the width of the heat transfer plates. The heat transfer plates each have a horizontal portion (28) having less pressing depth that the rest of the corrugation pattern, which is formed such than the heat transfer plates (4) in the area of the portions (28) referred to, abut against each other in the plate interspaces for said liquid and are separated from each other in the plate interspaces for a heating fluid.
