Claim 16:
17. A distributor for a plate heat exchanger, comprising:
a tube part, having a tube wall and having a first end and a second end, with a tube part inner cavity being defined in the tube part;
a first flange formed at the first end, the first flange extending from the first end in a direction away from an axis of the tube part, the first flange having an outer edge remote from the tube part; and
a connecting protrusion, projecting from the tube wall of the tube part in a direction away from the axis of the tube part, and projecting from the first flange at the inside of the outer edge of the first flange in a direction towards the second end of the tube part;
the connecting protrusion having a connecting protrusion wall, with a connecting protrusion inner cavity being defined in the connecting protrusion wall, the connecting protrusion inner cavity being in communication with the tube part inner cavity;
