Plate Heat exchanger

Hello,

Been looking in to the theory about heat exchangers but don´t quite understand if the plates themself contains and transfer the liquid that is running or if the plates simply transfer the heat via the metal?

Hope you understand, English is not my first language and yes, i´m an apprentice.

Thanks.
