Abstract

The invention relates to an air-conditioner for a motor vehicle having a refrigerant circuit through which a refrigerant flows. The circuit includes a heat exchanger (1) through which the refrigerant circulates. A second internal refrigerant circuit exists in the heat exchanger (1) and operates when the first refrigerant circuit is at a standstill.
