Abstract
A heat exchanger, particularly an evaporator, has a number of ducts (19) for the flow of a cooling fluid which are connected in series, each duct (19) being produced as a pair of plates (13) including a concave region (3) limited by an edge (5) and provided with a number of studs forming dimples (9), the dimples being randomly distributed. The invention applies mainly to the air conditioning of motor vehicles.
