The heater (30) is designed for a motor vehicle air conditioning system
(10) and has at least one heat exchanger tube (58) which produces a heat
conducting connection (54) between a heat generating means (52) and at
least one heat releasing means (56) via a medium which vaporizes and
condenses in the heat exchanger tube (58). In order to be able to produce
the heater (30) more economically, the heat generating means (52) is made
with an extruded profile (62, 84) to which at least one heat exchanger
tube (58) is coupled by heat conduction.
