Abstract
A heat exchanger includes a pipe connection structure including a first coupling element and a second coupling element. The first coupling element includes a through-hole formed therethrough and the second coupling element includes a blind hole formed therein. A manifold tank includes a first tank compartment in alignment with the through-hole of the first coupling element and a second tank compartment in alignment with the blind hole of the second coupling element. The through-hole provides fluid communication between an interior of the pipe connection structure and the first tank compartment while the second coupling element forms a fluid barrier wall at an end of the blind hole thereof that prevents fluid communication between the interior of the pipe connection structure and the second tank compartment by way of the second coupling element.
