THE BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION AND PRIOR ART
The present invention refers to a heat exchanger plate for a plate
heat exchanger, wherein the plate includes at least a first area with
a corrugation of ridges and valleys, the plurality of which extends in
a first direction, wherein the plate has a central rotary axis which
extends in parallel with a normal line of the plate. The invention
also refers to a plate package for a plate heat exchanger, and a
plate heat exchanger.
Such heat exchanger plates for rotation a quarter of a round are
known from EP-A-165 179. The plates have a substantially square
shape and form a plate package where the inlets and the outlets
extend through the sides of the plate package, i. e. the heat
exchanger media flow into and out of the plate package in a
direction which is substantially parallel to the main extension plane
of the plates. Each plate has four side edges, wherein two opposite
side edges are folded downwardly and the two other opposite side
edges are folded upwardly. Every second plate is rotated 90° in the
plate package, wherein the downwardly folded side edges of a plate
abut the upwardly folded side edges of an adjacent plate, wherein
these side edges are connected to each other by means of a weld
joint. In each corner of each plate a tab is formed, which extends
along a diagonal direction and in a plane that is substantially
perpendicular to the extension plane of the plates.
The plates disclosed in EP-A-165 179 have an active heat
exchanging surface with a corrugation OT ridges and valleys, which

extend in a diagonal direction that is inclined 45° to the side edges
of the plates. Due to reasons of the manufacturing technology, a
corrugation may not extend to the side edges but there has to be an
edge area in order to enable, for instance, bending of the edge. The
edge area may in principle be only a substantially line-shaped
bending area but preferably the edge area has a substantially plane
surface that has a width of 10-15 mm. By such a corrugation the
plate becomes very rigid with regard to the shape in the diagonal
direction, in which the ridges and the valleys extend, but is
significantly less rigid transversely to the corrugation.
The plates are manufactured by compression moulding and when
the plates are compressed for the shaping of the pattern, the
material is extended transversally to the corrugation. When the
press tool then is open and the plate is released, a certain
backspring is obtained due to the elasticity of the material. Since
the main backspring occurs in the direction in which the plate has
the lowest shape rigidity the deformation becomes relatively large.
The original square plate thus obtains after the compression
moulding a rhombic shape. Such a rhombic shape leads to poor
pattern fitting of the adjacent plates in the complete plate package,
which in turn leads to lower pressure strength of the plate package.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The object of the present invention is to remedy the problems
mentioned above. In particular, it is aimed at a plate, at a plate
package with such a plate, and a plate heat exchanger with such a
plate package, wherein the plate package is designed to maintain
its outer shape after the compression moulding. The maintaining of
the outer shape after the compression moulding. The maintaining of
the outer shape after the compression moulding is important during
the joining of the plates with modern welding methods such as laser
beam welding.

This object is achieved by the plate initially defined, which is
characterised in that the plate includes at least a second area with
a corrugation of ridges and valleys, the plurality of which extends in
a second direction, wherein these areas have a respective contour,
which coincides with a respective imaginary stationary contour in a
first rotary position of the plate with regard to said rotary axis and
after a rotation of 90° to a second rotary position of the plate with
regard to the rotary axis.
Since the heat exchanging surface includes two areas, which have
a corrugation extending in a respective direction, the deformation of
the shape in one of the areas may be counteracted by the
deformation of the shape in the other area and vice versa.
Consequently, the total deformation of the shape of the plate may
be prevented or reduced and the original outer shape may
substantially be maintained also after the compression moulding of
the plate. The definition contour refers to the outer and inner
contour of an area. One of said areas may for instance be
completely enclosed in another of said areas, wherein the border of
the latter outer area to the inner area forms the inner contour of the
outer area.
According to an embodiment of the invention, the area of said first
area is substantially equal to the area of said second area.
Furthermore, the first direction is advantageously perpendicular to
the second direction. By such a design of the plate, the deformation
of the shape may be prevented substantially completely.
According to a further embodiment of the invention, the plate
includes a diagonal line, wherein the first direction is substantially
parallel to the diagonal line.
According to a further embodiment of the invention, the plate has a
contour that coincides with an imaginary stationary contour in said
first rotary position and in said second rotary position. Such a
contour involves for instance a circular or a polygonal shape with at
least four side edges, wherein the plate may have at least four

corners and wherein said diagonal line extends between two
opposite ones of said corners.
According to a further embodiment of the invention, the plate has an
edge, which extends around the plate, and an edge area, which
extends around the plate inside the edge. The total area of the edge
area is relatively small in relation to the area of said first and
second areas, which form an active heat exchanging surface.
Furthermore, the plate may be substantially square and have four
side edges, wherein two first of said side edges are parallel and
folded in a first direction along a respective folding line extending in
said edge area in parallel with the side edge in question, wherein
two second of said side edges are parallel and folded in a second
direction along a respective folding line extending in said edge area
in parallel with the side edge in question, and wherein the first
direction is opposite to the second direction.
According to a further embodiment of the invention, the plate
includes a support area, which extends around said first and second
areas inside the edge area and includes a corrugation of ridges and
valleys. In such a corrugated support area, the ridges and valleys
may be given a direction that is favourable for the specific position
in which they will be located in the complete plate package so that
the load is equalised between the different support points. By such
a particular corrugation for the support area, the number of support
points in this area in the proximity of the side edges of the plate
may be substantially increased. At least a large number of the
ridges and valleys in the support area may thus extend in a
direction which deviates from the diagonal direction of the ridges
and valleys of the heat exchanging surface. The ridges and the
valleys of the support area will be shorter in their extension
direction in comparison with the ridges and valleys of the heat
exchanging surface. Advantageously, the plate includes a marked
border line between the heat exchanging surface and the support
area.

According to an embodiment of the invention, the support area has
in each corner such a ridge or valley, which extends in a direction
that substantially coincides with a diagonal line between the
corners. Furthermore, substantially each ridge and valley of the
support area along a central part of the side edges may extend in a
direction which is substantially perpendicular to the side edge lying
most closely to said ridge and valley. By such a design of the
support area the number of support points in this area may be
increased with up to 50%. The ridges and the valleys in the support
area may also have substantially the same spacing as the ridges
and valleys of the heat exchanging surface. Advantageously, the
direction of the ridges and the valleys of the support area changes
successively from the substantially diagonal direction in the corners
to the substantially perpendicular direction in the central parts.
According to a further embodiment of the invention, the plate
includes an extension plane, which extends in and in parallel to the
edge area, wherein said valleys of the first and second areas are
located at the extension plane and said ridges of the first and
second areas are located above the extension plane. Said valleys
of the support area may advantageously be located below the
extension plane and said ridges of the support area above the
extension plane.
The object is also achieved by a plate package for a plate heat
exchanger, which includes a number of plates arranged on each
other as defined above. The plates in the plate package may
advantageously be arranged in such a way that every second plate
is rotated 90° around said rotary axis and in such a way that
interspaces are formed between adjacent plates, wherein said first
and second areas have such a shape that the contour of the first
area coincides for all plates in the plate package and that the
contour of the second area coincides for all plates in the plate
package. Furthermore, the plates in the plate package may be
welded to each other, wherein the plates are arranged on each
other in such a way, that said first side edges of a plate abut said
second side edges of an adjacent plate, and wherein these side

edges are connected to each other by means of a weld joint.
Substantially ail plates in the plate package may be substantially
identical. Furthermore, said interspaces may include a number of
first interspaces and a number of second interspaces, wherein the
first interspaces are arranged to convey a first medium through the
plate package and the second interspaces are arranged to convey a
second medium through the plate package.
The object is also achieved by a plate heat exchanger including a
plate as defined above.
The object is also achieved by a plate heat exchanger including a
plate package as defined above.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF VARIOUS EMBODIMENTS OF THE
INVENTION
Figs 1-3 disclose a plate heat exchanger 1. The plate heat
exchanger 1 includes an outer casing 2 and a plate package 3,
which is arranged inside the casing 2. The plate package 3 includes
a number of heat exchanger plates 4 which are stacked on and
attached to each other.
The plates 4 have a central rotary axis x, which extends in parallel
with a normal line of a main extension plane p of each plate 4. All
plates 4 are substantially identical and have in the embodiment
disclosed a substantially square shape with four corners. It is to be
noted that the plates 4 also may have another polygonal or circular
shape. The plates 4 are rotatable around the axis x in such a way
that the outer contour of the plates 4 coincides with an imaginary
stationary contour in a first rotary positioned and after rotation 90°
to a second rotary position.
Each plate 4 has a heat exchanging surface 5 with a corrugation of
ridges and valleys, see Fig. 4. Each plate 4 also has an edge, which
extends round the plate 4, and a substantially line-shaped or
surface-shaped edge area 6, which extends around the heat
exchanging surface 5 inside the edge. In the embodiment disclosed,
the edge forms four side edges 7', 7". Two 7' of the side edges are
parallel to each other and folded downwardly in a first direction
along a respective folding line that extends in the edge area 6 in
parallel with the side edge 7' in question. The two second 7" side
edges are also parallel to each other and folded upwardly in a
second opposite direction along a respective folding line extending
in the edge area 6 in parallel with the side edge 7" in question. In
each corner of each plate 4 a tab 8 is formed when folding the side
edges, which extends along a diagonal direction and in a plane
which is substantially perpendicular to the extension plane p of the
plates 4. These tabs 8 function as attachment members for
mounting the plates 4 and the plate package 3 in the casing 2. More
specifically, the tabs 8 are directly or indirectly attached in

longitudinal groves in four corner posts 9 which are arranged in a
respective corner in the inner space of the casing 2. The corner
posts 9 also function to delimit four part spaces 10 between the
casing 2 and the plate package 3.
Every second plate 4 in the plate package 3 is rotated 90° around
the rotary axis x, wherein the plates 4 are arranged in the plate
package 3 in such a way that interspaces 13', 13" are formed
between adjacent plates 4 and that the first side edges 7' of a plate
4 abut the second side edges 7" of an adjacent plate 4. The
adjacent side edges 7' and 7" are attached to each other by means
of a weld joint 14, see Fig. 7. The weld joint 14 may be obtained by
means of laser beam welding or electron beam welding. The
interspaces 13', 13" include a number of first interspaces 13' and a
number of second interspaces 13", see Figs. 4-7. In such a way,
the plate package 3, seen from two opposite sides, will be open
with regard to the first interspaces 13' and closed with regard to the
second interspaces 13". Seen from the two other opposite sides,
the plate package 3 will be closed with regard to the first
interspaces 13' and opened with regard to the second interspaces
13". The first interspaces 13' are arranged to convey a first medium
through the plate package 3 and second interspaces 13" are
arranged to convey a second medium through the plate package 3.
The plate heat exchanger 1 includes a first inlet 16 and a first outlet
17 for the first medium, and a second inlet 18 and a second outlet
19 for the second medium. The inlets and the outlets to the plate
package 3 proper extend though the sides of the plate package 3, i.
e. the heat exchanger media flow into and out of the plate package
3 in a direction that is substantially parallel to the main extension
plane p of the plates 4. In the embodiment disclosed, the plate
package 3 includes three part packages a, b, c. The part packages
a, b, c are delimited from each other by means of two delimiting
plates 21, 22. It is to be noted that the plate package 3 may include
another number of part packages, for instance 1, 2, 4 or more such
part packages.

In the embodiment disclosed, the first medium is conveyed in
through the first inlet 16 into the part package a through one side to
the first interspaces 13'. The first medium leaves the part package a
through the opposite side and is conveyed into the part space 10. In
the part space 10, the first media is conveyed passing the delimiting
plate 21 and into the part package b through a side to the first
interspaces 13'. The media leaves the part package b through the
opposite side and enters the opposite part space 10. In this part
space 10 the first media is conveyed passing the second delimiting
plate 22 and into the part package c through the side to the first
interspaces 13'. Thereafter, the first media leaves to plate heat
exchanger 1 via the opposite side of the part package c, the part
space 10 and the second outlet 17. In a corresponding manner the
second media is conveyed into the first inlet 18 through the plate
heat exchanger 1 and via the second inlet 19. It is to be noted that
the second media also may be conveyed in counterflow to the first
media in such a way that the outlet 19 forms an inlet and the inlet
18 an outlet.
The heat exchanging surface 5 includes in the embodiment
disclosed in Fig. 4 a first area 31with a corrugation of ridges and
valleys, and a second area 32 with a corrugation of ridges and
valleys. The valleys of both the areas 31, 32 of the heat exchanging
surface 5 are located at or at the level of the extension plane p and
the ridges of both the areas 31, 32 of the heat exchanging surface 5
are located above the extension plane p.
The ridges and the valleys in the first area 31 extend in a first
direction A, and the ridges and the valleys in the second area
extend in a second direction B. The first direction A is substantially
perpendicular to the second direction B. Furthermore, the first
direction A is substantially parallel to a diagonal line extending
between two opposite corners of the plate 4, and the second
direction B is parallel to a diagonal line extending between the other
two opposite corners of the plate 4. It is to be noted that the ridges
and the valleys of the areas 31, 32 of the heat exchanging surface 5
may extend along other directions than those disclosed. The ridges

and valleys in the first area 31 do not need to extend
perpendicularly to the ridges and valleys in the second area 32 but
it is important that the ridges and valleys in the first area 31 form an
angle to the ridges and valleys in the second area 32. The ridges
and valleys of the areas 31, 32 of the heat exchanging surface 5
may also extend along curved path and have larger or smaller
interruptions or irregularities, for instance in order to form support
points in relation to adjacent surfaces or in order to influence the
flow through the plate heat exchanger 1. Inserted portions with
deviating patterns may also be present for other reasons.
The area of the first area 31 is substantially equal to the area of the
second area 32. Each of the areas 31, 32 also has an outer and/or
inner contour which coincides with a respective imaginary stationary
contour in the first rotary position of the plate 4 with regard to the
rotary axis x and after a rotation of 90° to the second rotary position
of the plate 4 with regard to the rotary axis x. The second inner
area 32 is square and rotated 45° in relation to the first outer area
31, which also is square. The outer contour of the inner area 32
forms or coincides with the inner contour of the outer area 31. In
the plate package 4 a ridge of the heat exchanging surface 5 will
substantially always abut a valley of the heat exchanging surface 5
of an adjacent plate 4,. wherein this ridge crosses this valley in such
a way that a support point or a small support area is formed.
Each plate 4 includes a support area 41, which extends around the
heat exchanging surface 5 inside the edge area 6. The support area
41 also includes a corrugation of ridges 42 and valleys 43. The
border between the support area 41 and the heat exchanging
surface 5 is marked with a border line 44 that is located at or at the
level of the extension plane p. The valleys 43 of the support area 41
are located below the extension plane p and the ridges 42 of the
support area 41 are located above the extension plane p.
In the proximity of each corner, the support area 41 has such a
ridge 42 or valley 43 extending in a direction that substantially
coincide with a diagonal line between the corners. Along a central

part of the side edges, substantially each ridge 42 and valley 43 of
the support area 41 extends inside one of the side edges in a
direction which is substantially perpendicular to the side edge which
lies most closely to said ridge 42 and valley 43. The direction of the
ridges 42 and the valleys 43 of the support area 41 changes
successively from the diagonal direction in the corners to the
perpendicular direction in the central parts.
The ridges 42 and the valleys 43 of the support area 41 are thus
positioned in such a way that each valley 43 in the support area 41
of a plate 4 abuts a ridge 42 in the support area of a plate 4 lying
therebelow, see Figs. 6 and 7. In such a way support lines, or
elongated support surfaces, will always be formed between all
adjacent plates 4 in the plate package 3, which support lines extend
in the directions of the ridges 42 and the valleys 43. Also the
support area 41 has such a shape that the outer and inner contour
of the support area 41 coincide for all plates 4 in the plate package
3.
Fig 8 discloses a plate 4 with a heat exchanging surface 5 which is
divided in into two areas 31, 32 according to a second embodiment.
The inner area 32 is shaped as a square that is positioned in such a
way that the side edges of the outer contour of the inner area 32
extend in parallel to the most closely lying side edges of the outer
contour of the outer area 31.
Fig 9 discloses a plate 4 with a heat exchanging surface 5 that is
divided into two areas 31, 32 according to a third embodiment. The
inner area 32 is shaped as a circle that is positioned in such a way
that the centre point of the circle coincides with the centre point of
the outer area 31.
Fig. 10 discloses a plate 4 with a heat exchanging surface 5 which
is divided into a plurality of areas according to a fourth embodiment.
The plate 4 has two mains areas 31, 32, wherein one of the main
areas 31 includes a central square area 33 and four triangular
corner areas 34, one in each corner.

All plates according to Figs. 8-10 are as the plate in Fig. 4 also
shaped in such a way that each area 31, 32, 33, 34 has a
respective outer and/or inner contour, which coincide with a
respective imaginary stationary contour in the above-mentioned first
rotary position of the plate 4 with regard to the rotary axis x, and
after a rotation of 90° to the above-mentioned second rotary
position of the plate 4 with regard to the rotary axis x. The total area
of one of the areas 31, or the main area 31, is substantially equal to
the total area of the other area 32, or the main area 32.
It is to be noted that the support area 41 is not indicated in Figs. 8-
10, but these embodiments may of course also include a support
area 41 of the type described above.
The invention is not limited to the embodiments disclosed but may
be varied and modified within the scope of the following claims.
It is to be noted that the invention also is applicable to plates that
lack the disclosed support area 41.
