  • Publication number: 20140151004
    Abstract: An internal heat exchanger for an air conditioning system, comprising an outer tube and a line structure arranged inside the outer tube defining a meandering serpentine first flow channel, with the second flow channel formed between the outer tube and the line structure. The first flow channel is formed by extruded components joined together to form a unitary structure inserted into the second flow channel which includes facing channel elements defining a serpentine path and two shells adhered to the channel elements defining the sides of the flow path and having fins extending perpendicular to the base disposed in the second flow channel.
