A heat exchanger for cooling air, with a coolant onward-flow connection for feeding liquid coolant for cooling air and a coolant return-flow connection for discharging liquid coolant. For removing ice by melting accumulated ice in the heat exchanger, a heater is provided that is associated with an electrical heating element. An operational safety device prevents overheating of the heater. The operational safety device comprises a fault-current detection device. Such a heater, with a heating element for heating air for subjecting accumulated ice to heated air, and with such an operational safety device is provided. Also, a galley for a commercial aircraft is provided with a receiving space for trolleys, and a cooling device for cooling the receiving space. The cooling device comprises such a heat exchanger for cooling air.
