Abstract (en)
The object of the invention is, among others, a manifold (1) for distribution of a fluid in a heat exchanger (100), the manifold (1) elongating along a longitudinal axis (L1) and comprising a first longer side (101) and a second longer side (102) parallel to the longitudinal axis (L1), a first short side (103) and a second short side (104) substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis (L1), wherein the manifold 100) further comprises: a cover (10) extending along the axis of elongation of the manifold (10), wherein the cover (10) comprises at least one channel (10a, 10b) for the fluid, and a header (20) configured to close the channel for the fluid within the manifold (1), wherein the header (20) is configured to be fixed to the cover (10), characterized in that at least one channel (10a, 10b) comprises at least a first channel section (11) and a second channel section (12), wherein the first channel section (11) is different than the second channel section (12).
