  • the present invention is also related to the use of such a heat exchanger.
  • Heat exchangers are used for exchanging heat between fluid media. They generally comprise a start plate, an end plate and a number of heat exchanger plates stacked onto one another in a manner forming flow channels between the heat exchanger plates. Usually, port openings are provided to allow selective fluid flow in and out from the flow channels in a way well known to persons skilled in the art.
  • a common way of manufacturing a plate heat exchanger is to braze the heat exchanger plates together to form the plate heat exchanger.
  • Brazing a heat exchanger means that a number of heat exchanger plates are provided with a brazing material, after which the heat exchanger plates are stacked onto one another and placed in a furnace having a temperature sufficiently hot to at least partially melt the brazing material. After the temperature of the furnace has been lowered, the brazing material will solidify, whereupon the heat exchanger plates will be joined to one another to form a compact and strong heat exchanger.
