Heat exchanger for a motor vehicle

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

• a core comprising a condenser section and a subcooling section;
• and
• a monolithic cover plate comprising a liquid-coolant inlet and a depression;
• wherein the core comprises a liquid-coolant line and a refrigerant line separate from the liquid-coolant line;
• wherein the refrigerant line extends from a refrigerant inlet to a refrigerant outlet via the condenser section and through the subcooling section;
• wherein the monolithic cover plate adjoins an end plate of the subcooling section;
• wherein the depression is enclosed by the end plate-so as to form a chamber, on the on a side facing the end plate;
• wherein the liquid-coolant line extends from the liquid-coolant inlet to a collecting section of the core via a subcooling line and a bypass line;
• wherein the subcooling line passes through the subcooling section;
• wherein the bypass line:
• is formed by the chamber,
• bypasses the subcooling section, and
• is located within and along the depression;
• wherein the liquid-coolant line extends from the collecting section to a liquid-coolant outlet via the condenser section;
• and
• wherein the subcooling line and the bypass line lead into a common collecting line of the collecting section.
