A condenser includes a first and a second core and a receiver drier, the first and the second cores include a first and a second pair of collectors respectively for heat exchange fluid. At least the first pair of collectors are arranged substantially vertically. The receiver drier includes a tubular casing, an inlet and an outlet port, a desiccant section and a suction tube. The inlet and outlet ports are configured at opposite lateral ends of the tubular casing. The desiccant section is configured between the lateral ends of the tubular casing. The suction tube configures fluid communication between the desiccant section and the outlet port. The receiver drier is disposed horizontally. The suction tube enables receiving of the fluid from a lower portion of the tubular casing along the vertical direction and upstream of the suction tube in direction of fluid flow in the receiver drier.

Heat exchanger with horizontally positioned receiver drier

The object of the invention is, among others, a heat exchanger () for a motor vehicle comprising: at least two manifolds () comprising covers () and headers (), a plurality of tubes () deployed in parallel to each other between the manifolds (), the tubes () comprising open ends received in the headers (), the length of the tubes () being smaller than the distance between the covers (), characterised in that, the covers () comprise an elongated portions () long enough to form an abutting point for one end of the tube (), so that the second end of the tube () is distanced from the elongated portions () on the opposite cover, while still maintaining fluid-tight connection with both manifolds ().
