  • Patent number: 8720199
    Abstract: A heat exchanger for heat exchange between a first fluid and a second fluid is provided that includes: a block for guiding the first fluid and the second fluid separately and in a heat-exchanging manner, and a fluid connection for the first fluid. The block comprises a housing provided with a chamber through which the second fluid can flow, and a block end element for the fluid-tight separation of the chamber and the fluid connection. The housing can be provided for connecting the block to the fluid connection. The block end element is not used to connect the block to the fluid connection but rather preferably only the housing. The housing can be thickened accordingly in the region of the block connection. The fixing point for the block end element to the housing and the fixing point for the fluid connection to the housing are at a distance from each other.
