Abstract: An evaporator with a finned tube block with tubes and fins, wherein the tubes are arranged in rows and the fins are arranged between the tubes, with a first collection and distribution box and with a second collection and distribution box. Each of the two collection and distribution boxes has a bottom and a box lid. The respective bottom has openings for inserting the tube ends of the tubes of the finned tube block. The finned tube block is divided into evaporator flows to which groups of tubes of the finned tube block are assigned. The tubes of an evaporator flow each merge end-side into a box area of a collection and distribution box. The respective bottom of the collection and distribution boxes is designed with rim holes for inserting the tube ends in the openings.

Abstract: A heat exchanger, in particular exhaust-gas cooler, is described herein. The heat exchanger includes tubes of unipartite form or formed from two plates. The tubes form a first and a second fluid duct, and the respective fluid ducts are arranged adjacent to one another. The first fluid duct is designed to be open at at least one of its ends for the inflow and/or outflow of a first fluid. The second fluid ducts are closed at an end side of the tubes by way of an inward or outward step. The step has a greater extent T in the tube longitudinal direction in the corner regions of the tube than between the corner regions. Several non-limiting descriptive embodiments are disclosed herein.

Abstract: The invention relates to a heat exchanger, in particular exhaust-gas cooler or charge-air cooler, comprising a plate stack composed of multiple elongate plate pairs, wherein in each case two interconnected plates form a first fluid duct between them, and a second fluid duct is formed between two plate pairs, wherein the plates of a plate pair are of U-shaped form with a bottom and upturned side walls and lie against one another so as to delimit the first flow duct, wherein one of the plates of a plate pair has, on its end side, a tab which serves for beading over around the end side of the other plate, wherein the tab on the bottom of the plate is beaded over, and the beading-over of the tab also continues into the side walls of the plates.

Abstract: The invention relates to a heat exchanger having a tube bundle with tubes as heat exchanger matrix, it being possible for the tubes to be flowed through by a first fluid and in this way defining a first fluid channel, and to be flowed around by a second fluid and in this way defining a second fluid channel, the tube bundle being configured so as to be closed off toward the outside, in order to close off the second fluid channel, or being arranged in a housing, in order to close off the second fluid channel, the tubes being configured so as to be open on the end side for the inflow or outflow of the first fluid.

Abstract: The invention relates to a heat exchanger, in particular exhaust-gas cooler, having tubes of unipartite form or formed from two shell-like plates, which tubes form a first and a second fluid duct, wherein the respective fluid ducts are arranged adjacent to one another, wherein the first fluid duct is designed to be open at at least one of its ends for the inflow and/or outflow of the first fluid, wherein, at the ends, the tubes are, by way of an inward or outward step, designed such that the second fluid ducts are closed at the end side, wherein the step has a greater extent T in the tube longitudinal direction in the corner regions of the tube than between the corner regions.
