Abstract

A heat exchanger (28) has a first inlet (29) and a first outlet (30), which are fluidically connected with one another via a first path (31) carrying for a first medium to be cooled. A second inlet (32) and a second outlet (33) are fluidically connected with one another via a second path (34) carrying a second medium. A third inlet (35) and a third outlet (36) are fluidically connected with one another via a third path (37) carrying a third medium. The first path (31) is coupled with the second path (34) and with the third path (37) in a heat-transferring manner and in such as way that the media are separated. The heat-transferring coupling between the first path and the second path takes place upstream of the heat-transferring coupling between the first path and the third path relative to the direction of flow of the first medium.
