Abstract: A heat exchanger, in particular a heat exchanger of a motor vehicle, having cooling pipes and having collecting tanks, in which heat exchanger the cooling pipes extend between the collecting tanks, in which heat exchanger the cooling pipes and the collecting tanks are spatially connected to one another, in which heat exchanger the cooling pipes are produced from a strip material with at least one cooling pipe seam, in which heat exchanger the at least one cooling pipe seam forms an inner partition of the cooling pipe, and in which heat exchanger the cooling pipes have an external solder plating on the pipe outer side and the cooling pipes have more than one coating on the pipe inner side, wherein one of the coatings on the pipe inner side is arranged only partially in the region of the at least one cooling pipe seam, as a result of which particularly high demands with regard to a multi-coating layered construction of cooling pipes of the heat exchanger can be met in a cost-effective manner.

Abstract: The aim of the invention is to provide a fluxing agent for soldering components, which creates one or more specific surface characteristics during the soldering process itself, thus obviating the need for the surface treatment process that is conventionally carried out after the soldering process. To achieve this, nanoparticles are added to a base substance.

Abstract: A conducting device, such as a corrugated fin, for a heat exchanger, has at least one surface with an increased microscopic roughness. A method increases the microscopic roughness of at least one surface of a conducting device such as a corrugated fin. A heat exchanger, such as an evaporator for an air-conditioning system of a motor vehicle, has tubes through which a medium flows and between which conducting devices are arranged, the conducting devices having a further medium, such as moist air, flowing around them.

Abstract: The invention relates to a surface of an object, especially a heat exchanger, e.g. a lateral part, a wavy rib, or a tube of a heat exchanger, which is to be soldered by means of a flux layer (2). In order to improve the properties of the surface that is to be soldered, said surface is provided with at least one more layer (3; 13, 16) in addition to the flux layer (2). The at least one more layer (3; 13; 16) contains an additive which modifies the surface to be soldered, said additive being reacted in order to modify the surface when the surface that is to be soldered is soldered.
