Abstract
Plate (1) intended to form a partition between two fluids circulating inside a welded heat exchanger, the plate (1) having a plurality of undulations (2) characterized in that all or part of the undulations (2) has, on at least one upper crest line (3), at least one preferred contact area (4) that has a height above a nominal height of the undulations (2) of the plate (1), the at least one preferred contact area (4) being intended to come into contact with a lower crest line of an undulation of another plate provided above the plate (1) and to be deformed when the exchanger is manufactured.
