Abstract:
1. A condenser for an air conditioning system, in particular for a motor vehicle, comprising pipes which are arranged vertically, through which a coolant flows and which have a coolant connection to an upper manifold pipe and a lower manifold pipe, said manifold pipes being respectively arranged horizontally, and having a manifold which is arranged parallel underneath the lower manifold pipe and has a coolant connection to the lower manifold pipe via an inflow opening and an outflow opening, a separating device being arranged between the inflow opening and the outflow opening, and a filter device and/or drying device arranged in the separating device and defining therein a reservoir chamber, the filter device and/or drying device being positioned between the inflow opening and the reservoir chamber, the separating device having an extractor device for carrying essentially fluid coolant from the reservoir chamber to the outflow opening, wherein the extractor device comprises an extraction pipe which is arranged in a gravitationally lowest region of the manifold, wherein the filter device and/or drying device defines a first flow path from the inflow opening to the reservoir chamber, and wherein the extraction pipe defines a second flow path from the reservoir chamber to the outflow opening.
