Abstract (en)

A plate heat exchanger (2) comprising a first frame plate (4), a second frame plate (6), a first number of side walls (8, 10, 12, 14) and a stack (18) of heat transfer plates (20) is provided. The heat transfer plates each has a center portion (40) and a peripheral portion (42) encircling the center portion, and they are arranged in pairs between the first and second frame plates and essentially parallel thereto. A first flow path (F1) for a first fluid is formed between the heat transfer plates of the pairs and a second flow path (F2) for a second fluid is formed between the pairs of heat transfer plates. The side walls extend between the first and second frame plates and enclose the stack of heat transfer plates. A first side wall (10, 74) of the side walls, having an inside surface (62, 78) facing the stack of heat transfer plates, is provided with a through hole (60, 76) for draining of a substance from an inside to an outside of the plate heat exchanger, which substance originates from one of the first and second fluids. The plate heat exchanger is characterized in that at least a first portion (64a,78a) of the inside surface of the first side wall is sloping towards the hole for facilitating the draining of the substance.
