Abstract

A heat exchanger unit for motor vehicles includes one first heat exchanger and one second heat exchanger. Each heat exchanger includes two collector pipes which are arranged at a distance from each other. One collector pipe of the first heat exchanger is arranged substantially adjacent to one collector pipe of the second heat exchanger. Also, the other collector pipe of the first heat exchanger is arranged substantially adjacent to the other collector pipe of the second heat exchanger.
