FIELD: heating.
SUBSTANCE: means (40) for gasket fixing to the heat exchanger plate, gasket means (6) and assembly (2) for the heat exchanger. The fixing means is adapted to interact with edge portion (26, 28) of plate (4) of heat exchanger to fix gasket (38) on first side (8) of the heat exchanger plate. It comprises a first connecting element (42), a second connecting element (44) and a bridge (46). First part (48) of the first connecting element is configured to interact with the gasket, while second part (52) of the first connecting element is in interaction with the bridge. First part (50) of the second connecting element is configured to interact with the gasket, while second part (54) of the second connecting element is in interaction with the bridge. Fixing means is characterized in that it further comprises a plurality of fingers (60, 62, 64) formed between the first and second connecting elements. Corresponding connecting part (66, 68, 70) of each finger is in interaction with the bridge, and the fingers are arranged to extend from the gasket towards the gasket. At least one finger is arranged to interact with first side (8) of the heat exchanger plate and at least one of the fingers is arranged to interact with the second opposite side of the heat exchanger plate.
EFFECT: reduced heat loss.
