| (54) | Heat exchanger |
| (57) A heat exchanger (10) having at least a heat exchange unit (20, 22) comprises a first
circuit having a plurality of first passage ways in which a first fluid is able to
flow, along a predetermined direction (S), and a second circuit (26, 44) in which
a second fluid is able to flow. The second circuit (26, 44) is provided with a plurality
of second passage ways (29, 46) in which the second fluid is able to flow. Each first
passage way and/or each second passage way (29, 46) defines a substantially obligatory
path for the first and/or second fluid from a relative entrance (29a, 46a) to a relative
exit (29b, 46b). The combination of the obligatory paths substantially covers the
whole heat exchange surface of the first circuit and/or the second circuit (26, 44).
