Abstract (en)

A condenser for air conditioning systems for vehicles, comprising a pair of distributors (16, 18) and a plurality of tubes (14a-14n) extending between the distributors and having end portions (22a-22n) inserted into corresponding apertures (20) formed in the lateral walls of the distributors (16, 18). At least one of said tubes (14a-14n) has an end portion (22d, 22l, 22g) which divides the respective distributors (16, 18) in two chambers (16a, 16b, 16c, 18a, 18b). Said end portion (22d, 22l, 22g) has an aperture (28) in its lateral wall which puts the tube (14d, 14c, 14l) in fluid communication with only one of said chambers (16a, 16b, 16c, 18a, 18b). <IMAGE>
