The object of the invention is, inter alia, a
heat exchanger (1) for exchanging heat between a first fluid and at least a second fluid, the
heat exchanger (1) comprising: a plurality of flat plates (10) stacked together to form a core (100) for circulating the first fluid in the core (100), the core (100) comprises a first passage (100A), referred to as an inlet passage, at least one second section (100B), referred to as an intermediate passage, in which the intermediate passage is directly fluidly connected to the inlet passage, and in which the intermediate passage is fluidly connected to the inlet passage. The first section (100A) comprises at least a first channel (111A) adapted to dispense the first fluid in the first section (100A), a second channel (111B) at least partially fluidly connecting the second section (100B) and the first section (100A), and at least a third channel (111C) at least fluidly connected to the second section (100B), the second channel (111B) further comprises a first conduit (102A) and a second conduit (102B), the conduits (102A, 102B) extending in the stacking direction of the plates (10), where the second conduit (102B) comprises a flow restrictor (105) configured to at least partially block an intended first fluid flow between the first section (100A) and the second section (100B).
