Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention relates to a heat exchanger or heat exchanger for a vehicle air-conditioning system, which is designed in particular to exchange heat energy in a coolant circuit. Background technique
[0002] Air-conditioning unit built-in heat exchangers, so-called built-in heat exchangers (IHX), are known for increasing the power and efficiency of automotive air-conditioning units, which connect the section of the coolant circuit between the evaporator and the compressor with the condensing The coolant circuit section between the regulator and the pressure reducing valve is thermally coupled. The relatively cold coolant flowing from the evaporator to the compressor can in this way be used for (pre)cooling or recooling the relatively hot coolant flowing into the pressure reducing device arranged on the high-pressure side of the coolant circuit.
[0003] DE 10 2005 052 972 A1 thus describes, for example, a double-walled heat exchanger tube having an out...
