Abstract
A plate heat exchanger comprises heat exchanger plates each comprising a heat exchanger area extending in parallel with an extension plane and comprising a corrugation extending from a primary level on one side of the extension plane to a secondary level on an opposite side of the extension plane. Four porthole areas enclose a respective porthole and comprise two first porthole areas comprising a respective annular base area around the porthole at the secondary level. Each first porthole area comprises a first annular ridge around the porthole and projecting from the annular base area to the primary level, and a second annular ridge around and at a distance from the first annular ridge and projecting from the annular base area to the primary level. The first and second annular ridges are through-broken by a number of depressions.
