Abstract

Disclosed herein is a plate-type heat exchanger or chiller, with multiple stacking plates stacked one on top of the other such that a first fluid duct for a first fluid and a second fluid duct for a second fluid are formed between the stacking plates. A first inlet and outlet opening for conducting in and discharging the first fluid, and a second inlet and outlet opening for conducting in and discharging the second fluid is provided. The first inlet or outlet opening is formed by an immersion pipe and the first fluid can be conducted into the first fluid duct through the immersion pipe, such that the first inlet and outlet openings are formed on the same side of the heat exchanger.
