Abstract
A plate heat exchanger includes several heat exchanger plates provided beside each other, which form first and second alternating plate interspaces. Every second heat exchanger plate forms a primary plate and every second secondary plate. Each heat exchanger plate extends in an extension plane and includes a heat transfer area and an edge area around the heat transfer area. The heat transfer area includes a corrugation of longitudinally extending ridges and valleys. The ridges have two edge surfaces and a support surface between the edge surfaces, with a first width transversally to the longitudinal direction. The valleys have two edge surfaces and a support surface between the edge surfaces, with a second width transversally to the longitudinal direction. The support surface of valleys of the primary plates slopes relative to the extension plane and the support surface of ridges of the secondary plates slopes relative to the extension plane.
