Abstract
The invention relates to a component (20) for supporting a tubular filter member (15) in a portable channel (2) in a plate heat exchanger (1). The invention also relates to a device including the component (20) and the filter member (15). Furthermore, the invention relates to a plate heat exchanger (1), which includes a package of heat transfer plates (3) provided between a first plate (5) and a second plate (6). The filter member (15) has an inner surface and an outer surface. The component (20) includes a first part (21), which is arranged to be introduceable into the filter member (15) to abutment against the inner surface of the filter member, and a second part (22), which is arranged to abut a surface area of one of said first and second plates (5, 6), which surface area extends around the porthole channel (2).
