Abstract

A heat exchanger from a stack of plate pairs having fins which are disposed between the plate pairs, and having ducts which vertically extend through the stack, for conveying in and/or conveying out a medium which flows through the plate pairs and which exchanges heat with another medium which flows through the fins, wherein the ducts are formed from openings in the plates and have moldings which extend around opening peripheries, and having a plate, having corresponding openings, which finishes off the stack, wherein a thermally decoupling element, which is inserted either in an integrated or a separate manner and which is incorporated into the vertical duct formation, is disposed between the finishing-off plate and the stack. Such a heat exchanger displays improved resilience to alternating temperature loadings.
