Abstract
A heat exchanger for exchanging heat between two separate fluids is provided, containing two longitudinal tubes, extending longitudinally, forming a distributing tube and collecting tube, which are spaced apart laterally, and numerous lateral tubes, extending laterally, which are adjacent to one another longitudinally, and connect the two longitudinal tubes for fluid exchange, wherein at least one of the longitudinal tubes is made of two parts that separate laterally, one of which forms a lower shell while the other forms an upper shell, both of which extend longitudinally, and fit together laterally, wherein the lower shell has a hole for each lateral tube, into which they can be inserted, and wherein at least one of the longitudinal tubes is sealed by an end plate on at least one end.
