Abstract
There is provided a heat exchanger with a receiver which has a small diameter and compact size without a liquid refrigerant suction pipe. The interior of a header tube 2 is partitioned into three chambers A, C, and F by partition plates 8a and 8b. The chamber C is provided with a refrigerant inlet 6, and the chamber F with a refrigerant outlet 7. Also, the interior of a header tube 3 is partitioned into chambers B, D, and E by partition plates 8c and 9. Receiver connecting flanges 11 are inserted in the side surface of the chambers B and E, and a receiver body 18 is fixed via receiver headers 21. An inlet passage 16 and an outlet passage 17 are formed in the receiver connecting flange 11 and the receiver header 21. A liquid refrigerant entering through the inlet passage 16 after passing through the chamber B drops in the receiver body 18 by gravity, and is conducted through the refrigerant outlet 7 after going through the outlet passage 17, chamber E, heat exchange tubes 4, and chamber F.
