Abstract
A shell and plate heat exchanger includes a shell forming an internal space, and a plate stack housed in the internal space. A plurality of refrigerant channels communicate with the internal space, and a plurality of heating medium channels are blocked from the internal space. Each of the refrigerant channels is adjacent to an associated one of the heating medium channels with heat transfer plate interposed between. Each of the heat transfer plates includes a first communication hole that communicates with the heating medium channels to introduce the heating medium, a second communication hole formed below the first communication hole that communicates with the heating medium channels to emit the heating medium, and a guide crossing between the first and second communication holes to guide the heating medium that has flowed into the heating medium channels from the first communication hole toward side portions of the heat transfer plate.
