A heat exchanger for cooling exhaust gas, around which a liquid cooling medium flows on the outside, including a bundle of rectangular tubes provided as ducts for the exhaust gas whose ends are welded into tube bottoms. The bundle of rectangular tubes is surrounded with a sheet metal jacket which follows the contour of the bundle and which is provided with a cooling medium inlet and a cooling medium outlet. The ends of the sheet metal jacket are provided with welded-on flange plates which are each open by means of a central opening with respect to the bundle of rectangular tubes and which are provided with fastening devices for fastening onto pipe sections of an exhaust pipe.

A heat exchanger for cooling exhaust gas of a motor vehicle with a closed flow guiding system for the exhaust gas has heat exchange elements which are arranged between a feeding device and a removing device for the exhaust gas and around which a cooling medium flows. Heat exchange elements are disk-shaped and are each joined together from two metal sheets. At least one turbulence insert 20 is arranged between the sheets and comprises projections which extend diagonally with respect to the flow direction and project upwards from a surface.
