In a plate heat exchanger in which the flow rates of the two heat exchanging fluids are different, it is possible to obtain an adjustment to differing proportions of the fluid flows, the pressure drops being given. To this end, the heat exchanger is provided with at least two sections of heat exchanging passages, in at least one of said sections the passages for the two respective fluids having essentially different flow resistances. Furthermore, the proportion of the flow resistances of the passages for the respective fluids in one section differs essentially from the corresponding proportion in at least one other section. |

DETAILED DESCRIPTION I claim: 1. A heat exchanger having at least two sections of heat exchanging plates, each section comprising a plurality of said plates arranged adjacent to each other and forming between them sealed passages adapted to receive two heat exchanging fluids flowing therethrough, said passages for the respective fluids in at least one of said sections having essentially different flow resistances, the proportion of the flow resistances of the passages for the respective fluids in one section differing essentially from the corresponding proportion of another section, means connecting the passages for one of said two fluids in a first said section in parallel with the passages for one of said two fluids in a second said section, and means connecting the passages for the other of said two fluids in said first section in parallel with the passages for the other of said two fluids in said second section, whereby the heat exchanger is adapted for parallel flows of the same two fluids through said first and second sections, said passages for the respective fluids in each of two said sections having essentially different flow resistances, the proportion of the flow resistances of the passages for the respective fluids in one section being equal to the inverted value of the corresponding proportion in another section.
Description:
The present invention relates to a heat exchanger of the kind comprising a plurality of heat exchanging plates arranged adjacent to each other and forming between them sealed passages adapted to receive two heat exchanging fluids flowing therethrough. In cases where the flow rates of the two heat exchanging fluids differ from each other, it is desirable to provide heat exchanging passages which, at a given pressure drop, allow different large flows (i. e. , which have different flow resistances). The fluid having the larger flow rate is then allowed to flow through passages with low flow resistance, while the fluid having the smaller flow rate is allowed to flow through passages having a higher flow resistance
