Abstract (en)

The disclosure relates to a plate heat exchanger (1) comprising: a package of heat exchanger plates (2), each having a peripheral portion (4) and several port portions (6a,6b) with through flow ports (8a,8b) communicating with flow passages (12) between adjacent heat exchanger plates (2). First guiding ribs (50) are arranged in the port portions (6a,6b), which first guiding ribs (50) in every other flow passage (12) between the heat exchanger plates (2) are configured to guide and distribute the first heat exchange medium (18) from a first inlet channel (16a) to a heat exchange portion (14) and from the heat exchange portion (14) to a first outlet channel (16b), and in that second guiding ribs (52) are arranged in the port portions (6a,6b), which second guiding ribs (52) in the remaining flow passages (12) between the heat exchanger plates (2) are configured to guide and distribute a second heat exchange medium (22) from a second inlet channel (20a) to the heat exchange portion (14) and from the heat exchange portion (14) to a second outlet channel (20b).
