Evaporator with condensed water overflow protection

摘要

The evaporator (1) has a block (2) assembled from tube elements (3) and rib elements (4), where a coolant flows through the tube elements. A segment of the block is surrounded by a condensation water overflow protection system and includes a wash plate (12). The height of the wash plate at a section (18) is smaller than the height at another section (19) that is adjacent to the section (18). One of the sections (18) is arranged at the center with respect to the wash plate. The other section (19) and a third section (20) are formed mirror-symmetrically with respect to a transverse axis (Q).
