Abstract

Ein bekannter Wärmeübertrager weist einen aus Flachrohren und Wellrippen zusammengesetzten Rippen/Rohrblock auf, wobei die Rohrenden der Flachrohre aufgeweitet sind und auf diese aufgeweiteten Rohrenden Sammelkästen aufgesetzt sind.
Erfindungsgemäß ist jeder Sammelkasten (1,2) zu seinen - auf die Längsachse (L) bezogen - Seitenbereichen (10) hin offen gestaltet, und die Seitenteile (7) weisen an ihren gegenüberliegenden Stirnenden zu den Sammelkästen (1,2) Abschlußabschnitte (9) auf, die die offenen Seitenbereiche (10) der Sammelkästen (1,2) verschließen.
Einsatz für Wasserkühler von Kraftfahrzeugen.
