Heat Exchanger With a Reservoir, in Particular for a Thermal Management Module

A heat exchanger, in particular for a thermal management module in a motor vehicle, comprising:

• a plurality of plates;
• a first flow path (SP1) for a coolant;
• a second flow path (SP2) for a refrigerant;
• a reservoir for separating gaseous and liquid portions of the refrigerant from one another and/or for collecting and storing the refrigerant, and
• six connectors, which form the fluid intakes (WE1, WE2, WE3) and fluid outlets (WA1, WA2, WA3) for the first and second flow paths (SP1, SP2),
• wherein the plates are stacked or placed next to one another to define channels between adjacent plates,
• wherein a first part of each of the channels is within the first flow path (SP1),
• wherein a second part of the channels is within the second flow path (SP2),
• wherein the second flow path (SP2) comprises a first section for cooling and condensing the gaseous refrigerant,
• wherein the second flow path (SP2) has a second section for super-cooling the liquid refrigerant
• further comprising another connector that is connected to the first section to define a fluid intake (SE) for the reservoir, and further comprising another connector that is connected to the second section to define a fluid outlet (SA) for the reservoir;
• wherein the refrigerant flows from the first section into the second section via the reservoir,
• wherein the plates each comprise at least five holes (O), wherein at least five of the six connectors (WE1, WE2, WE3, WA1, WA2, WA3) are at the same end of the stack of plates in the heat exchanger (WT).
