Heat exchanger with horizontally positioned receiver drier

A heat exchanger for a vehicle, the heat exchanger comprising:

• a first core and a second core comprising a first pair of collectors and a second pair of collectors, respectively, for a heat exchange fluid of the heat exchanger, at least the first pair of collectors being arranged vertically,
• a receiver drier inter-positioned fluidly between the first and second cores, the receiver drier comprising:
• a tubular casing,
• an inlet port and an outlet port configured at opposite lateral ends of the tubular casing,
• a desiccant section configured axially between the inlet port and the outlet port, relative to a central axis of the tubular casing, and adapted to receive a desiccant material;
• and
• a suction tube adapted to configure fluid communication between the desiccant section and the outlet port,
• wherein the receiver drier is disposed horizontally,
• wherein the suction tube is configured to enable receiving of the fluid from a lower portion of the tubular casing defined below the central axis of the tubular casing and upstream of the suction tube in a direction of fluid flow in the receiver drier, and
• wherein the suction tube includes an inlet that is placed axially between the outlet port and the desiccant section, along a single axial direction relative to the central axis of the tubular casing, and is adapted to receive the fluid inside the suction tube irrespective of an orientation of the vehicle.
