Publication number: 20070137834Abstract: 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).Type: ApplicationFiled: November 10, 2003Publication date: June 21, 2007Inventors: Karsten Emrich, Wolfgang Kramer, Eberhard Pantow
