In a three-circuit plate heat exchanger comprising a stack of metal plates (16-25) having identical outer shape and dimensions provided with six holes forming inlet and outlet ports (2-7) for three flows of fluid (x, y and z). The plates are of two different designs, the first (those plates having even reference numerals) having two holes located in plate areas in a common plan and the remaining holes located in a common plan displaced downwards. In the other plate design (the remaining heat exchanging plates) the corresponding four holes are displaced equally upwards relative the remaining two holes. The two types of plates are alternating in the stack. Ring-shaped spacers (27, 28) are sealingly arranged between such plates which are spaced from each other at port holes and forming channels between plates to be blocked from connection with ports forming said holes.

[ What is claimed is:] [1.] A three-circuit plate heat exchanger comprising a stack of at least 10 sheet metal plates having identical outside shape and dimensions, each of said plates being provided with six spaced holes identically located, holes of the same location having equal diameters in all plates, said plates forming channels for fluids of the three circuits, the holes in the plates forming six ports for inlet and outlet of said fluids of the three circuits,characterised inthat the plates are of two different designs--the first plate design having two holes located in plate areas in a common plane, while the remaining four holes are located in plate areas displaced equally downwards relative the plane in which said two holes are located--the second plate design having four holes displaced correspondingly upwards relative to its remaining two holes which are located in plate areas in a common plane,that plates of the two different designs are located alternating in the stack of plates,that at each port the entrance to channels to be passed by fluids of the two circuits not passing said port is blocked by gluing, soldering or welding together of ring shaped plate areas adjacent to said holes, ring shaped spacers being inserted between plates which are spaced from each other at said ring shaped areas adjacent to said holes, and;characterised in that the blocking of the channels limited by the plates has been made to allow passage of flow of one fluid through each other channel, and so that one of the two remaining flows of fluid may pass through a number of channels which is greater than the number of channels open to the third flow of fluid.
