Disclosed is a cleaning system (1) for cleaning the plate channels (2) in a plate heat exchanger (3) during normal use of the heat exchanger (3), wherein the heat exchanger (3) comprises an inflow channel (4) through which a fluid enters the heat exchanger (3) and an outflow channel (5) through which the fluid exits the heat exchanger (3). A stack (6) of heat exchanger plates (7) is arranged between the inflow channel (4) and the outflow channel (5) so that the heat exchanger plates (7) form plate channels (2) between the inflow channel (4) and the outflow channel (5) through which the fluid may pass. The cleaning system (1) comprises # a bypass conduit (8) arranged to establish a bypass flow of the fluid between the inflow channel (4) and the outflow channel (5) bypassing the stack (6) of heat exchanger plates (7), # a cleaning head (9) comprising a cleaning aperture (10) connected to the bypass conduit (8), wherein the cleaning aperture (10) is arranged to face the stack (6) of heat exchanger plates (7) during normal use of the cleaning head (9) in the heat exchanger (3), displacement means (11) arranged to displace the cleaning head (9) linearly in a displacement direction in the inflow channel (4) or the outflow channel (5), and pressure altering means (12) arranged to alter the pressure in the bypass conduit (8), wherein the projected area (13) of the cleaning head (9) in the displacement direction is smaller than the cross-sectional area in the displacement direction of the inflow channel (4) or the outflow channel (5) in which the cleaning head (9) is placed to allow the fluid to pass the cleaning head (9) in the inflow channel (4) or the outflow channel (5). Furthermore, a plate heat exchanger (3) and a method for cleaning the plate channels (2) in a plate heat exchanger (3) is disclosed.
