1. A plate heat exchanger for exchanging heat between two fluids, comprising:
a plurality of heat exchanging plates arranged adjacent one another and forming a plate heat exchanger, a first fluid being a refrigerant, a second fluid for transferring heat to said first fluid in said heat exchanger, at least two first fluid inlet ports, at least one first fluid outlet port, at least one second fluid inlet port, at least one second fluid outlet port, a first fluid flow path, a second fluid flow path, said first fluid flow path comprising a plurality of first fluid heat exchanging flow paths, said second fluid flow path comprising a plurality of second fluid heat exchanging flow paths, each of said first and second heat exchanging flow paths being separated by a heat exchanging plate and each being disposed in a gap between said heat exchanging plates, each of said first fluid inlet ports being disposed on opposite distal sides of said plate heat exchanger positioned at a common inlet corner along a first fluid edge of the heat exchanger and being aligned facing each other linearly, such that the first fluid entering from each of said first fluid inlet ports is on a linearly aligned collision path before travelling through the heat exchanger, the first fluid outlet port being disposed at a corner distal to said common inlet corner along said first fluid edge of the heat exchanger, said second fluid ports being disposed along a second fluid edge of the heat exchanger which is distal to and parallel with said first fluid edge said first fluid being introduced into said heat exchanger through said at least two first fluid inlet ports, said at least two first fluid inlet ports being in fluid communication with a common inlet region of each of said first fluid flow paths, wherein pressure and temperature differentials of entering first fluid are controlled and optimized, and maldistribution of temperature and flow is controlled and minimized. |
