Abstract

The condenser has a collecting pipe separated by a separation wall (7). An accumulator has inner and outer shells, which are coaxially arranged to each other so that a flow channel (16) for a cooling unit is formed between the shells. An inflow-or discharge opening communicates with a space enclosed by the inner shell. Another inflow-or discharge opening is arranged in the outer shell. A dryer and a filter (29) is provided in the space. The latter opening is provided at a front side end of the pipe. The accumulator is provided laterally adjacent to a pipe-ribs-block.
