Zusammenfassung:A charge air cooler for an internal combustion engine may include a heat exchanger having a plurality of fluid paths through which charge air to be cooled is flowable. The charge air cooler may also include a collector attached to the heat exchanger and communicating with the fluid paths. A lower region of the collector may be configured as a condensate receiving zone for receiving condensed charge air. At least one pipe body may be arranged in the collector and may delimit a fluid channel through which condensed and non-condensed charge air may be flowable. An opening may be formed in the at least one pipe body and may fluidically connect the fluid channel to the condensate receiving zone.
