Problems solved by technology

[0006] However, the header tank included in the heat exchanger of this publication requires a cover for closing the openings at both ends, and thus has the problem that the number of components must increase, and for joining the cover to the header, Inefficiency in the work of connecting the tubes to the plate and the intermediate plate
Additionally, the cover must be made as a separate piece and is difficult to manufacture
[0007] In order to improve the heat exchange performance of the heat exchanger disclosed in the gazette, it is desired to change the flow route of the refrigerant, for example, by partitioning the inside of at least one header tank with a partition, but this brings about the problem that the arrangement of the partition troublesome process

Abstract

A heat exchanger 1 has header tanks 2, 3 each comprising a header forming plate 7, a tube connecting plate 8 and an intermediate plate 9 interposed between these two plates 7, 8, the plates 7, 8, 9 being arranged in superposed layers and brazed to one another. Each of the plates 7, 8, 9 is made from a metal plate by press work. The header forming plate 7 has outward bulging portions 11A, 11B or an outward bulging portion 24. The tube connecting plate 8 has tube insertion holes 18. The intermediate plate 9 has communication holes 22 for causing tube insertion holes 18 to communicate with the interior of each outward bulging portion 11A, 11B or 24 therethrough. Heat exchange tubes 4 have opposite ends placed into the respective insertion holes 18 and brazed to the respective tube connecting plates 8. The heat exchanger comprising such header tanks 2, 3 is reduced in the number of components, can be fabricated with a high work efficiency and exhibits improved heat exchange performance.
