Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A heat exchanger includes a housing having a heat exchanger core and a precooling flow structure disposed therein. The heat exchanger core is configured for exchanging heat between a first fluid and a second fluid. The precooling flow structure is coupled to each of the housing and an inlet end of the heat exchanger core with respect to a flow of the first fluid. An interior of the precooling flow structure is configured to convey the first fluid therethrough, The precooling flow structure includes at least one precooling tube extending through the interior of the precooling flow structure with each of the at least one precooling tubes configured to convey the second fluid therethrough in order to precool the first fluid before the first fluid enters the inlet end of the heat exchanger core.
