Abstract

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Kreuzstrom-Wärmetauscher (1) für ein Kraftfahrzeug, mit Rohren(10-12), die von einem Medium durchströmt und von einem weiteren Medium umströmt werden, mit mindestens einem Sammelkasten (2,3), in den die Rohre münden, und mit Leitelementen (13,14), die zwischen den Rohren (10-12) angeordnet sind.The invention relates to a cross-flow heat exchanger (1) for a motor vehicle, comprising tubes (10-12) through which a medium flows and through which another medium flows, with at least one collecting box (2, 3) into which the tubes open , and with guide elements (13,14), which are arranged between the tubes (10-12).

Um einen Wärmetauscher zu schaffen, der kostengünstig herstellbar ist und einen relativ hohen Wirkungsgrad aufweist, sind der Sammelkasten (2,3) und die Rohre (10-12) aus Kunststoff und die Leitelemente (13,14) aus Metall gebildet.

Figure imgaf001
In order to provide a heat exchanger which is inexpensive to produce and has a relatively high efficiency, the collecting box (2,3) and the tubes (10-12) are made of plastic and the guide elements (13,14) made of metal.
