Abstract
A condenser for a refrigerating circuit, in particular an air conditioning installation for a motor vehicle, comprises two headers at respective ends of a bundle of tubes, together with a reservoir communicating with one of the headers. The reservoir and this header are integrated within a common casing having a tubular wall which is divided, by a longitudinal separating baffle, into a collecting chamber, constituting the header into which the tubes of the condenser are open, and a reservoir chamber which communicates with the collecting chamber through apertures formed in the longitudinal baffle. This baffle has a longitudinal edge engaged in a longitudinal slot in the casing wall, and another longitudinal edge which bears against the tubular wall, so that the various components can be secured together by brazing.
