Claim:
1. A heat exchanger, comprising: at least one cooling segment having a first portion, a second portion and a third portion, a first heat carrier flow path, which extends through the first portion of the cooling segment and through which a first heat carrier medium can flow, a second heat carrier flow path, which extends through the second portion of the cooling segment and through which a second heat carrier medium can flow, a first coolant flow path, which extends through the third portion of the cooling segment and through which a first coolant medium can flow, at least one cooling body, and at least one second coolant flow path, which extends through the cooling body and through which a second coolant medium can flow, the first heat carrier flow path and the second heat carrier flow path being thermally coupled, respectively, to the first coolant flow path and the second coolant flow path, in order to discharge heat energy of at least one of the first heat carrier medium or the second heat carrier medium to at least one of the first coolant medium or the second coolant medium, wherein the first portion and the second portion of the cooling segment extend, respectively, in a first plane and in a second plane that is at a distance from the first plane and that extends substantially parallel to the first plane, and wherein the third portion extends in a third plane that is disposed between the first and the second plane and that extends substantially parallel to at least one of the first plane or the second plane, and wherein the first heat carrier flow path is split upstream of the first portion into two flow path portions leading respectively into the first plane and second plane and recombined downstream of the first portion, and the second heat carrier flow path is split upstream of the second portion into two flow path portions leading respectively into the first plane and second plane and recombined downstream of the second portion.
