A plate heat exchanger arrangement, which includes at least a first plate pack and a second plate pack arranged adjacent to each other inside the outer casing, and the first plate pack has a diameter, defined by the outer edges of the heat exchange plates, which is greater than a diameter of the second plate pack.

The purpose of the present invention is to provide a plate-type heat exchanger in which the formation of burrs and chips during fin processing may be eliminated by eliminating fin processing work for stacking and bonding fins and plates. In order to achieve the above purpose, a plate-type heat exchanger according to the present invention is characterized by comprising: plates which include an inlet formed on one side in the longitudinal direction, an outlet formed on the other side in the longitudinal direction, and a flow surface formed between the inlet and the outlet; and a fin part which is inserted into a plate part formed by bonding a pair of the plates and rests on the flow surface. The plates include a fin part movement preventing means to ensure that one end of the fin part in the longitudinal direction is spaced a certain distance from the inlet and the other end of the fin part in the longitudinal direction is spaced a certain distance from the outlet such that the fin part rests only on the flow surface.
