Abstract (en)

The invention relates to a heat exchanger (1) comprising a core and at least one header box (3) that extends mainly in a longitudinal direction (A1), said core comprising at least four passes (25) distributed in two rows (11, 12), with two first inlet-passes (25) being part of a first row (11) of the heat exchanger (1) and two last outlet-passes (25) being part of a second row (12) of the heat exchanger (1). Each pass (25) has a respective length (L) measured along the longitudinal direction (A1), wherein the sum of the length (L) of the two first inlet-passes (L) is equal +/-10% to the sum of the length (L) of the two last outlet-passes (L), and the length (L) of the first inlet-pass (L) is bigger than the length (L) of the last outlet-pass (25).
