Abstract (en)

[origin: DE19719263A1] A flat tube evaporator for a motor vehicle air conditioning system has vertical flat tubes (2) and zigzag blades (8) arranged between the flat tubes (2). The heat exchange fluid can flow along the apex of the zigzag branches (38) of the blades (flow direction indicated by arrow 9). According to the invention, a water flow gutter (50) extending downwards on both sides of the flat tubes (2) is designed next to the rear end region (52) of the zigzag blades (8), seen in the flow direction (arrow 9) of the outer heat exchange fluid.
