Abstract
In a plate heat exchanger for two fluids having different flow volumes, comprising several generally rectangular heat transfer plates provided with inlet and outlet openings through its corner portions. Each heat transfer plate has a central portion and two distribution portions (15a and 16a) located between the central portion and respective inlet and outlet openings. The sizes of the inlet and outlet openings for one fluid differ from the size of the inlet and outlet openings of the other fluid. In addition, the distribution portions of the heat transfer plates provide a larger flow resistance for one fluid than the other fluid.
