Abstract:
The present invention relates to a fin ( 103 ) for a plate heat exchanger having an angular, wave-shaped structure with wave crests ( 131 ) arranged in parallel to one another, wherein a wave crest ( 131 ) is connected via a wave flank ( 132 ) to another wave crest ( 131 ), and wherein the wave crest ( 131 ) and the wave flank ( 132 ) succeed one another in a first spatial direction (D 1 ), and wherein the wave crest ( 131 ) and the wave flank ( 132 ) are connected to one another by a sheet edge ( 134 ). The wave crests ( 131 ) have a flat outer surface ( 135 ). According to the invention, the outer radius (R 101 ) of the sheet edges ( 134 ) is 0.05 mm to 0.18 mm. A method for manufacturing a fin ( 103 ) is also provided, which comprises a pressure-shaping step in which a previously provided bent wave-shaped structure ( 3 ) is shaped such that the outer radius (R 1 ) of the sheet edges ( 34 ) is reduced (R 101 ).

Claim (Index 15):
The plate heat exchanger as claimed in  claim 14 , characterized in that the solder layer ( 140 ) between the parting sheet ( 4 ) and the wave crest ( 131 ) of the fin ( 103 ) covers with a constant solder layer thickness (d) over 80%, preferably over 90%, particularly preferably over 95%, of the cross section (Q) of a wave flank ( 132 ) projected perpendicularly ( 140 ) onto the parting sheet ( 4 ).
