1. A heat exchanger block, comprising:

  • a first row of heat exchanger tubes comprising flat-tube sections including a pair of flat wall sections, said flat-tube sections being arranged at a distance from one another in the direction of the row, wherein the interiors of the flat-tubes form first heat-exchange medium flow chambers for at least a first heat-exchange medium and the interspaces between the flat-tubes form second heat-exchange medium flow chambers for at least a second heat-exchange medium which is to be brought into heat-exchanging contact with said first heat-exchange medium and wherein the flat-tube sections which are arranged at a distance from one another in the direction of the row comprise sections of one or more flat tubes which are folded in serpentine form; and

    a plurality of thermally conductive rods, extending completely through the flat wall sections of each tube of the first row of heat exchanger tubes, so as to also extend through the intervening second heat-exchange medium flow chambers, the rods extending at a distance from one another in a two-dimensional arrangement.
