Coolant condenser

Abstract

The invention relates to a coolant condenser comprising a network consisting of pipes and ribs, collecting tubes arranged on both sides of the network a parallelly arranged collector which is connected through the coolant to the collecting tube or condenser by means of overflow holes. A filter insert is located in the collector, which is connected to a closure plug, wherein said insert has a peripheral sealing arranged between the overflow holes.
