Abstract (en)
[origin: EP1500896A2] The invention relates to a plate water heater (1) comprising a coupling element (3) and a plurality of heat exchanger plates combined to form a plate stack (2a) and configured in such a manner that, between adjoining heat exchanger plates, separate flow passages are formed for conveyance of a heat-emitting liquid and a heat-absorbing liquid, respectively, said coupling element (3) comprising flow channels (21, 22, 23, 24) for conveyance of liquid between the flow passages and the couplings (7, 8, 9, 10), and regulator means (6) for regulating the liquid flow in the heat-emitting liquid. Thereby it is accomplished that there will always be hot liquid in the flow channel for heat-emitting liquid (the primary circuit) immediately the need arises for liquid to be heated in the secondary circuit. This need for hot water will be particularly pronounced in cases where the plate water heater is used for heating utility water.
