The invention related to a method in the manufacture of a plate heat exchanger (1), preferably a so-called recuperator. This has flow channels arranged between the plates, every other channel being designed to accommodate the flow of a heat-emitting medium and every second channel the flow of a heat-absorbing medium. The flow channels for one of the media, preferably the heat-absorbing medium, are connected in parallel to manifolds for the said medium. The plates also have a raised pattern designed to produce a counter-flow section and two cross-flow sections in the recuperator, one on either side of the counter-flow section, the cross-flow sections having a lower raised pattern height than the counter-flow section. By means of a punching and pressing operation openings (4', 6') are made in each plate, with side walls formed around the edges of the openings. Following a joining process, in which the side walls undergo pressure resistant jointing, the side walls from walls of the manifolds (4, 6). The entire raised patterns of the counter-flow section and the cross-flow sections on each plate are pressed to their respective raised pattern height in the said pressing operation. |
