Abrégé

A heat exchanger for a heat pump comprises a chamber (1) for a working fluid. A wall (2) provides for heat exchange between the working fluid in the chamber and a substance in a space (6) on the opposite side of the wall. Said chamber (1) comprises a structure (3) of a filling material (4) that is substantially non-absorbent with respect to the working fluid. Said structure (3) defines a plurality of channels (5) for the working fluid. Said channels (5) are at least partly bound by the wall (2) separating the chamber (1) from the space (6). Said channels (5) provide passage for the working fluid from an inlet (7) of the chamber (1) to an outlet (8) of the chamber.
