Abstract
The invention provides a heat exchanger, such as a charge air cooler, having a connecting plate, which is arranged in a housing into which the charge air flows. Charge air flows through ducts, which are assigned to the charge air and are provided with fins. The housing includes an assembly opening into which the heat exchanger can be inserted and is to be fastened by its connecting plate, with the body of the heat exchanger likewise being fastened in the interior of the housing. The charge air cooler has end chambers for a coolant. The end chambers are connected to coolant ducts. A strip is formed in the interior of the housing between two end chambers. The strip extends over a substantial part of the length of the end chambers.
