Abstract

A heat exchanger having a fins and tubes heat exchanger coupled to a plates heat exchanger and an open sided bypass compartment facing one of the edges of the fin and tubes heat exchanger. The plates heat exchanger has an inlet zone and an outlet zone. The heat exchanger is configured to guide a fluid to flow from the inlet zone, through inlet pathways between plates of the plates heat exchanger, and fins of the fins and tubes heat exchanger then toward the bypass compartment, then in between the fins facing outlet pathways, toward in between the surfaces of the plates facing the outlet pathways, and then toward the outlet zone.
