Abstract

The heat exchanger consists of uprights (1), base plate (2), cover plate (3) and heat-transfer plates (4) in which is at least one preferably circular passage (5) for two media. The heat transfer plates are stacked in or one each other so that the passages form collector or distributor ducts (6-9) from which lead outlets or inlets to flow ducts (10,11). between heat transfer plates. A main body (12) extends through the distributor or collector duct, and is joined at one end (13) to the base plate and, at the other end(14)to the cover plate.
