Abstract: The invention relates to a heat exchanger, particularly for a heating or air conditioning unit of a motor vehicle, comprising several flat pipes which are arranged parallel to each other and are penetrated by a heat-transmitting medium. An electrically operated heating element (114) which is mounted once the heat exchanger has been soldered is assigned to at least one part of the flat pipes as an additional heating device. Said heating element (114) is fixed to the heat exchanger by means of a holding element (115The inventive heat exchanger is characterized by the fact that each heating element (114) is mounted in front of the corresponding flat pipe and parallel thereto by means of the holding element (125) which also runs parallel to the flat pipe.

Abstract: The invention relates to a heat exchanger, particularly of cross-current design, through which at least two separate media can flow. It comprises plates which are stacked on one another and which are spaced apart from one another in some areas and are in contact with one another in other areas, so that flow paths are formed between respectively adjacent plates in a heat exchange region. The plates have apertures adjacent to the heat exchange region, and the plates are spaced apart from one another by means of shaped-out portions of the plates. Areas succeeding one another about the circumference of the plates have apertures, and these areas are alternately shaped out in opposite directions from the plane of the plates.

Abstract: A desorbable sorption filter, in particular for a heating or air-conditioning system of a motor vehicle, has a metallic support (12) which can be heated by flow of current and an adsorber (14) mounted at or on the support (12). To provide an improved, directly heatable sorption filter which particularly enables inexpensive production and good electrical and thermal conductive contact without the use of adhesives, it is proposed for the adsorber (14) to be of planar design and to be mechanically connected to the support (12, 112) by means of holding elements (26) formed integrally on the support (12, 112).
