Abstract

The invention relates to a heat exchanger, in particular an evaporator (1), with a plurality of refrigerant-carrying pipes (6, 7) which are arranged next to one another and end in at least one collecting vessel (9), and with at least one cold accumulator (4), in which a cold accumulating medium is provided, wherein the evaporator (1) has two regions arranged parallel to each other, a first region (1′) and a second region (1′), and the cold accumulator (4) is arranged in the second region (1′). In this case, the refrigerant-carrying pipes (6, 7) of the first and second regions (1′,1′) are arranged in line with one another and have a width corresponding to one another (b1, b2, b3), and the first and second regions (1′, 1′) have common, continuous corrugated rib.
