Abstract
A heat exchanger assembly for a motor vehicle includes a heat exchanger formed by additive manufacturing. The heat exchanger includes two end tanks and a plurality of exchanger tubes. The plurality of exchanger tubes extend in a transverse direction relative to a longitudinal direction of the motor vehicle and connects the two end tanks to each other such that fluid is allowed to flow between the two end tanks by the plurality of exchanger tubes. The heat exchanger has a recess formed therein. A first exchanger tube of the plurality of exchanger tubes has at least one change of direction such that the first exchanger tube bypasses the recess at an angle to the transverse direction and runs along a side of the recess.
