Abstract (en)

[origin: EP1411310A2] Heat exchanger has a component (7) containing a distributor channel (8) and a component (9) containing a collector channel (10) extending over the depth (Z) of all the cooling pipes (4, 5, 6). A deviating chamber (13.1) is formed in the component. Preferred Features: At least one of the cooling pipes has a reduced cross-section. Cooling air flows through the cooling pipe (4) having a small cross-section, then to the next average size cooling pipe (5) and finally to the largest cooling pipe (6). Coolant only flows through the largest pipe. The component containing the distributor channel has a peripheral wall and a longitudinal separating wall extending over two neighboring cooling pipes.
