Claims8
Condenser for a vehicle air-conditioning system, which condenser contains a pipe-rib block provided on both sides with collecting pipes which are divided by means of partitions in such a way that the pipe-rib block forms an upper condensing portion for gaseous refrigerant and a lower supercooling portion for liquid refrigerant, between which, parallel to the collecting pipe, there is disposed a collector, characterized in that the collecting pipe (14) and the collector (23) parallel thereto are configured as a double pipe, in whose wall separating the two pipe chambers two connecting openings (24, 25) are placed at a distance apart, and on a base (31, 58) of the collector (23) there is disposed a dryer (32), which extends at least as far as the first connecting opening (24) connecting the collector (23) to the condensing portion, and the collector (23) is connected by the second connecting opening (25), which is placed in the region of the base (31, 58), to the supercooling portion.
