Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2017027886A1] A plate heat exchanger has openings in the plates defining supply and return ducts extending through a plate stack. The supply and return ducts are hydraulically connected to flow ducts located between the plates and to a tube arranged coaxially in each of the supply and return duct. The tubes have holes in the tube wall in order to provide the hydraulic connection to the flow ducts. A simple and cost-effective plate heat exchanger which can withstand high pressures is achieved by the tubes extending through the entire stack to form a tie rod between a top side and an underside of the plate stack. The tube has a diameter corresponding to the diameter of the openings in the plates such that the tube wall is firmly metallurgically connected to at least some edges of the openings.
