Abstract
The invention refers to a plate package for a heat exchanger device including a tank with an inner space and an inner wall surface. A sectional plane (p) extends vertically through the inner space. The tank has an inlet for the supply of a liquid medium and an outlet for discharging the medium in a gaseous state. The inner space defines a lower part space and an upper part space. The plate package (10) with heat exchanger plates (11) is provided in the inner space. Each heat exchanger plate has an extension plane perpendicular to the sectional plane. The heat exchanger plates form first plate interspaces, that are open towards the inner space for recirculation of the medium, and second plate interspaces, which are closed towards the inner space for the recirculation of a fluid for evaporating the medium. Each heat exchanger plate includes a first porthole (14) and a second porthole (15). Furthermore, each heat exchanger plate includes an elongated distribution element (25) which extends into the adjacent second plate interspace and substantially transversally to the sectional plane (p).

19. A plate package (10) for a heat exchanger device having a tank (1), which forms a substantially closed inner space (2) and which includes an inner wall surface (3) facing the inner space, wherein the tank (1) is arranged to be provided in such a way that a sectional plane (p), which extends through the plate package (10) and the inner space of the tank (1), is substantially vertical,
wherein the plate package (10) is arranged to be provided in the inner space (2) and comprises heat exchanger plates (11) provided adjacent to each other, wherein each heat exchanger plate (11) has a main extension plane (q) and is provided in such a way that the extension plane (q) is substantially perpendicular to said sectional plane (p), wherein the heat exchanger plates (11) form first plate interspaces (12), which are substantially open to the inner space (2) and arranged to permit circulation of said medium from the lower part space (2′ - ) upwardly to the upper part space (2″
), and second plate interspaces (13), which are closed to the inner space (2) and arranged to permit recirculation of a fluid for evaporating the medium, wherein the first plate interspaces (12) in an upper portion (31) of the plate package (10) form outlet channels (34) for the medium,wherein each heat exchanger plate (11) includes a first porthole and a second porthole (15) and wherein the first portholes (14) form an inlet channel for said fluid to the second plate interspaces (12) and the second portholes (15) form an outlet channel for said fluid from the second plate interspaces (13), and wherein each heat exchanger plate includes an elongated distribution element (25) extending into the adjacent second plate interspace (13) and substantially transversally to said sectional plane (p). - View Dependent Claims (20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36)
- ) upwardly to the upper part space (2″
