Abstract
The invention relates to a heat exchanger with a temperature sensor and especially a heat exchanger usable for heating hot water using district heating water. The heat exchanger (1) contains plates (2) placed in a pack and brazed together so that 5 separate channels for first (Fj) and second (VV) media are formed between alternate pairs of plates; two pairs of connections for inlet (3) and outlet (4) for the first medium and inlet (5) and outlet (6) for the second medium, respectively; and a temperature sensor (9) connectable to a valve (7) to control supply of the first medium through the heat exchanger. The first medium is intended to supply heat to 10 the second medium. The temperature sensor (9) is placed through a number of plates and in heat conducting contact with them such that the temperature sensor controls the first valve.
