Abstract
A heat transfer plate has a front gasket groove including an annular front groove part extending around a heat transfer area, upper and lower distribution areas, and first and third portholes, and second and fourth ring groove parts enclosing second and fourth portholes. An upper front groove portion of the front gasket groove extends between the second porthole and the upper distribution area. A lower front groove portion of the front gasket groove extends between the fourth porthole and the lower distribution area. A bottom of the upper front groove portion is inclined such that the front gasket groove depth, within the upper front groove portion, increases in a direction towards the second adiabatic area, and a bottom of the lower front groove portion is inclined such that the front gasket groove depth, within the lower front groove portion, increases in a direction towards the fourth adiabatic area.
