A heat exchanger may include input-side and output-side tube plates and tubes supported therein, forming a first flow duct for a first medium. A housing may surround the tube plates and the tubes, forming a second flow duct for a second medium running between the tubes in the housing. The heat exchanger may further include at least one turbulence-generating insert arranged in the second flow duct between the tubes, the insert having ducts with permeable side walls for the second medium, and at least one dividing wall duct having closed side walls and being spaced apart at least at one longitudinal end from the housing. The at least one dividing wall duct may be designed to be open at both longitudinal ends, may be produced by a compression process, and may have a rising first flank and a second flank engaging below the second flank.

Heat exchanger

A corrugated fin, in particular for a heat exchanger, having a substantially corrugated design, having a plurality of fin surfaces, wherein adjoining fin surfaces are connected to one another by means of a fin arch in such a way that a medium can flow through an intermediate space between adjoining fin surfaces, wherein the fin surfaces are arranged at an angle with respect to one another perpendicularly with respect to a throughflow direction for the medium, wherein the fin surface has at least one bulge which protrudes out of the plane of the fin surface, wherein the extent of the bulge in a direction perpendicularly with respect to the air throughflow direction is smaller than the extent of the fin surface in said direction.
