[0002] Plate heat exchangers have high heat exchange efficiency, are compact, and are relatively light in weight. They can be used in many industries such as refrigeration, chemical industry, and water treatment. The basic principle of a plate heat exchanger is to form multiple adjacent and spaced flow channels between multiple heat exchange plates, and the two heat exchange media exchange heat through the heat exchange plates in adjacent flow channels. With the increase in the application scenarios of plate heat exchangers, the performance requirements for plate heat exchangers are also increasing. In a heat exchanger with a U-shaped inter-plate channel, although the inter-plate channel is long, the fluid tends to flow close to the dividing ribs when flowing, and the uniformity of fluid distribution needs to be further improved.
