(54)	In-line integrated heat exchanger

(57) In order to reduce the extent to which the heat at the individual heat exchangers (2,7) that are provided in line with each other as an integrated unit (1) affects the other to prevent any reduction in the overall performance, in an in-line integrated heat exchanger (1) having a first heat exchanger (2) and a second heat exchanger (7) that are to fulfill different purposes provided in line with each other, at least either the inflow (6a) or the outflow ports (6b) in the two heat exchangers (2,7) are provided at a common position. This achieves almost identical heat distribution variations among the individual portions of the two heat exchangers (2,7).
