Abstract
The invention relates to a heat exchanger, preferably a condenser, in particular for a motor vehicle, exhibiting: height, width, length, and tubes through which a first medium flows. A second medium flows around the tubes. The heat exchanger contains at least three rows across its width of tubes along its length. Each of the tubes are combined in the at least three rows to form at least one flow path for the first medium. The first row has at least one flow path through which the first medium flows vertically. The first flow path preferably comprises at least one third of the length of the heat exchanger, such that the temperature profile of the heat exchanger is improved. This is obtained in that the occurrence of disparities in the temperature profile is significantly reduced or even prevented.
