A plate heat exchanger may include a cover plate, a base plate and heat exchanger plates, the heat exchanger plates arranged as a stack oriented between the cover plate and the base plate. The base plate may overlap an edge of the adjacent heat exchanger plate, the base plate having an edge which is arranged in the direction of the heat exchanger plate stack. The edge of the base plate may follow at least in part a contour of the heat exchanger plate stack. The edge of the base plate may be formed at least in part by a projection. The projection may be integrally formed with the base plate and may be bent along folding lines.
