Abstract (en)
The invention relates to a heat exchanger (1) for a dryer, especially for a domestic dryer, which has a plurality of fins (2), wherein a flow channel (3) is established between two fins (2), wherein air is guided along a flow direction (F) through the flow channel (3) from an inlet edge (4) to an outlet edge (5). To improve the behaviour of the heat exchanger to collect lint, the invention is characterized in that at least the inlet edge (4) of the fin (2) has at least partially a rounded shape (6, 6', 6") seen in a direction perpendicular to the flow direction (F) and parallel to the surface (7) of the fin (3).
