Abstract (en)

[origin: EP3792582A1] Method for homogenizing a flow of coolant fluid inside a plate heat exchanger, the heat exchanger comprising two support end plates (2, 3) on which coolant inlet and outlet connectors (4, 6) and water inlet and outlet connectors (5, 7) are arranged, and a stack (10) of thermal exchange plates interposed between the support end plates (2, 3). Through the stack (10) of thermal exchange plates, a coolant inlet manifold (14) is formed which fluidically connects the coolant inlet connector (4) to the first channels, a coolant outlet manifold, a water inlet manifold and a water outlet manifold. Upstream of the coolant inlet manifold (14), between the coolant inlet connector (4) and the coolant inlet manifold (14), there is a calibrated orifice (20) configured to atomize a liquid/gas mixture entering the coolant inlet manifold (14).
