Abstract
A temperature sensing apparatus for a heat exchanger may include a sensor bracket installed at an outer circumferential surface of a refrigerant pipe forming the heat exchanger, and a temperature sensor accommodated at an inside of the sensor bracket, and configured to be in contact with the outer circumferential surface of the refrigerant pipe, when the sensor bracket is installed at the refrigerant pipe, to sense a surface temperature of the refrigerant pipe. The sensor bracket includes a bracket body rounded to surround the outer circumferential surface of the refrigerant pipe, a sensor accommodating groove formed at an inner surface of the bracket body to be recessed and in which the temperature sensor is accommodated, and a pipe holder configured to protrude from an end of the bracket body and to be in close contact with the outer circumferential surface of the refrigerant pipe.
