Abstract
A heat exchanger plate for use in a plate heat exchanger is made of a plate material which is pressed such that a gasket groove is formed, the gasket groove essentially extending along the edge of the heat exchanger plate. The plate material between the gasket groove and the edge of the heat exchanger plate is corrugated. The outermost portion of the heat exchanger plate is shaped as a plane face at least in an area along the edge of the heat exchanger plate, and the plane face is essentially positioned in the central plane of the pressed heat exchanger plate.
