Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2004102098A1] The invention relates to a heat exchanger unit for motor vehicles, comprising one first heat exchanger (10) and one second heat exchanger (12). Each heat exchanger (10, 12) comprises two collector pipes (14, 16 and/or 18, 20) which are arranged at a distance from each other. One collector pipe (14) of the first heat exchanger (10) is arranged substantially adjacent to one collector pipe (18) of the second heat exchanger (12). Also, the other collector pipe (16) of the first heat exchanger (10) is arranged substantially adjacent to the other collector pipe (20) of the second heat exchanger (12). One and/or the transversal sections (48, 52) of the covering wall (50, 54) of said collector pipe (14, 16) does not have a circular shape, said sections being perpendicular to the longitudinal axis (32, 34) of a collector pipe of the first heat exchanger (12),
