Claim:
A heat exchanger for a vehicle comprising: a core having a first set of flow tubes extending between first and second ends of the core, and a second set of flow tubes extending between the first and second ends of the core, wherein the first set of flow tubes defines a first fluid flow path and the second set of flow tubes defines a second fluid flow path fluidly separated from the first fluid flow path; a first header connected to the first end of the core and being in fluid communication with the first set of flow tubes and with the second set of flow tubes; a second header connected to the second end of the core, the second header including a first portion being in fluid communication with the first set of flow tubes and a second portion defining a receiver/dryer chamber being in fluid communication with the second set of flow tubes; and a dryer located in the receiver/dryer chamber, the second header extending from a tip portion to a bottom portion of the core; the receiver/dryer chamber being defined by a collection tube; the first portion of the second header including a receiver chamber being in fluid communication with the first set of flow tubes; the collection tube having a generally cylindrical shape; and the receiver/dryer chamber of the second header and the receiver chamber of the second header are separated by a separator located within the collection tube.
