A heat exchanger that includes a first manifold; a second manifold; a plurality of refrigerant tubes configured to fluidically couple the first and second manifolds; a plurality of fins placed between the plurality of refrigerant tubes, such that the fins and refrigerant tubes define a core having a plurality of open channels that allow air to flow there through; and a water-shedding device positioned approximate to the first manifold with a separation distance being maintained there between. At least a portion of the water-shedding device extends into one or more fin free windows located between the plurality of refrigerant tubes, such that condensate is extracted from between the refrigerant tubes.

Water-shedding device for evaporator cores

An arrangement for sealing functional unit interfaces includes a functional unit, an interface, and a sealing element. The interface has a first main surface, a second main surface, and an opening. The second main surface has a clamping section enclosing the opening. The functional unit has a front face with a counter-clamping section opposite the clamping section. The sealing element has a sealing body and a support element at least partially arranged within the sealing body. The sealing body has a first section clamped between the clamping section and the counter-clamping section. The opening is closed by a second section of sealing body, which is at least partially arranged between the opening and the front face. The support element is partially arranged in the first section and partially in the second section of the sealing body. The support element and the sealing body consist of different materials.
