Abstract
The invention relates to a heat exchanger (), in particular for a motor vehicle. The heat exchanger () includes a plurality of tubular bodies () stacked onto one another along a stack direction (S), which in each case delimit a first fluid path () for being flowed through by a refrigerant (K). The individual tubular bodies () are arranged along the stack direction (S) spaced apart from one another, so that between intermediate spaces () formed between the tubular bodies () that are adjacent in the stack direction (S), each form a second fluid path () fluidically separated from the first fluid paths () for being flowed through by air. The individual tubular bodies () extend transversely, preferentially perpendicularly to the stack direction (S) along a longitudinal direction (L). On a, with respect to the longitudinal direction (L), first longitudinal end () of the tubular bodies () a vessel () which extends in the stack direction (S) and fluidically communicates with the tubular bodies () is arranged. At least one inlet/outlet connector () at least partially delimiting a connector interior () projects from the vessel () to the outside for introducing the refrigerant into a vessel interior () surrounded by the vessel (). The connector interior () opens into the vessel interior (), so that refrigerant can be introduced into the connector interior and via the same conducted on into the vessel interior. The heat exchanger () comprises at least one connecting line () that can be flowed through by the refrigerant, by means of which the connector interior () fluidically communicates with the vessel interior ().
