A heat transfer plate for a plate heat exchanger has a first port portion (A) with at least one port (1, 4) for each of two fluids and a second port portion (B) with at least one port (2, 3) for each of the fluids, and a heat transfer portion which is located between the port portions (A, B). The ports (1, 4) in the first port portion (A) are located along a first geometric line (LA; LA1-LA2) which is essentially parallel to a longitudinal direction (L) of the plate, while the ports (2, 3) in the second port portion (B) are located along a second geometric line (LB; LB1-LB2) which is essentially parallel to the longitudinal direction (L) of the plate. A flow limiter (5) is arranged at least in the first port portion (A) adjacent to at least one of the ports which is located nearest the second port portion (B). The second port portion (B) has a corresponding flow limiter (6).
