Abstract (en)

A high pressure heat exchanger (100) comprising a first manifold (101) and a second manifold connected fluidly by a plurality of tube sets (20) arranged in a spaced manner along the manifolds, wherein at least one of the manifold comprises a rear cover (102), a header (103) with slots (104) receiving tube end sections (11b) of the tube sets and several internal plates (105) interposed between the header and the rear cover and configured to create a flow path within the manifold, this flow path being in fluid connection with the tubes to allow a circulation of a refrigerant in the tubes and the manifold, and wherein the header (103) has preferably at least a first area (110) adjacent to at least one of the slots and having a first thickness w1 and at least a second area (111) surrounding at least partially the first area and having a second thickness w2, first thickness w1 being smaller than second thickness w2.
