Patent attributes
A heat exchanger includes a corrugated plate that has a corrugation; a fluid-flux portion that stores the corrugated plate, and makes a fluid flow; a first structure that constitutes the fluid-flux portion; and a second structure that constitutes the fluid-flux portion, and is provided on a heat source side with respect to the first structure, wherein at least a portion constituting the fluid-flux portion in the second structure has a flat plate shape. The flat plate shape of the portion constituting the fluid-flux portion in the second structure enables easy manufacturing of the heat exchanger. The flat plate shape in the second structure further enables a close contact of the fluid-flux portion to the heat source, resulting in a heat exchange with high efficiency.
