Abstract
A heat exchanger for cooling or preheating combustion air of a supercharged internal combustion engine. The heat exchanger is formed of a self-contained system including elements provided with a heat accumulating active medium which is in a heat exchange relationship with the combustion air. The elements of the self-contained system are preferably filled with a heat accumulating active medium which acts as a latent accumulator at operating temperatures.
