  • Patent number: 7347254
    Abstract: The invention relates to a heat exchanger for motor vehicles, having a large number of flat tubes through which a liquid cooling medium can flow, and having corrugated fins which are associated with these flat tubes and to which environmental air or other media can be applied.

  • Publication number: 20070137834
    Abstract: The invention relates to a heat-exchanger device (99), in which a working medium (13) is conditioned by means of a heat-transfer medium (21). The conditioning process, which creates a desired working point, is achieved by an exchange of heat between the working medium (13) and the heat-transfer medium (21). Heat-transfer surfaces are configured in the heat-exchanger device (99), said surfaces enabling the exchange of heat in such a way that the two media (13, 21) remain separate from one another. According to the invention, said device is equipped with a chamber (10), into which the working medium (13) flows. The chamber (10) is penetrated or delimited by at least one conduit (20), which is traversed by the heat-transfer medium (21).
