A brazed plate heat exchanger has a two-phase refrigerant flow distribution system with improved circulation features. The inlet manifold has parallel pass conduits interconnected by way of a return bend, with the downstream end of the second pass conduit fluidly interconnected with the upstream end of the first pass conduit to complete the circuit. The manifold first pass conduit has a plurality of outlets formed in its wall to accommodate the flow of two-phase refrigerant to refrigerant channels along its length. A nozzle at the upstream end of the first pass conduit provides a relatively high velocity jet stream of refrigerant flow that propels the flow of refrigerant around the circuit so as to prevent stratification.
