A core plate of a header tank of a heat exchanger has an annular housing groove portion housing a tip part of a tank body and a seal component. The seal component is housed in a housing space formed by the housing groove portion and the tip part of the tank body. The housing groove portion has a bottom wall part which supports the seal component together with the tip part of the tank body, and an outer wall part located at an outer periphery side of the bottom wall part. The outer wall part has at least one discharge part through which liquid is discharged to outside from a clearance between a side surface of the tank body opposing the outer wall part and a lower side of the outer wall part in a stacking direction of tubes.

Heat exchanger

In a tank-integrated shroud, a shroud body has an air guiding wall having a first surface along which air flows and a second surface opposite to the first surface. The air guiding wall has a looped projection on the second surface. The looped projection forms a recess therein that is recessed from the first surface of the air guiding wall. A tank has an opening at one side. The periphery of the opening is welded to the looped projection of the shroud body, so the tank is integrated with the shroud body. During welding, a part of a welding jig is inserted into the recess of the looped projection.

Tank-integrated shroud, and method and jig for manufacturing the same

In order to enhance the working efficiency of assembling a heat exchanger in which two types of heat exchangers are integrated, there is provided a heat exchanger in which the size of the dummy tubes, which are the third tubes arranged in the portion between the first and the second radiator, and that of the first and the second tubes are made to be the same and further the size of the fins arranged between the dummy tubes and that of the first and the second fins are made to be the same. In order to reduce the occurrence of defective brazing of the separator to the header tank and in order to make it possible to easily repair the defective brazing portion, there is provided a hole in a portion of the header tank.
