Abstract (en)

The present invention relates to a plate heat exchanger (100) comprising a top head (104), a bottom head (106), four side panels (108a, 108b, 108c, 108d), and four corner girders (110a, 110b, 110c, 110d) bolted together to form a sealed enclosure (102) for housing a pack of heat exchanging plates. At least one of the side panels (108a, 108b, 108c, 108d) is divided into at least two separate plates (112a, 112b, 112c, 112d, 112e) arranged one after another along a longitudinal direction (L). Each of two corner girders (110a, 110b) associated with a divided side panel (108a) is provided with shoulder portions (128, 129) comprising abutment surfaces (128a, 130a) for interaction with abutment surfaces (129a, 131 a) of a first separate plate (112e) and a second separate plate (112a) respectively of the divided side panel (108a).
