Abstract
A heat exchanger includes a heat exchanger body having a heat exchanger core and header tanks, and a side tank provided at a side of the heat exchanger body for forming fluid introduction/discharge paths. The side tank comprises a first side tank forming plate provided at a heat exchanger body side, and a second side tank forming plate provided at an opposite side. At least one of the first and second side tank forming plates is divided into two parts in a thickness direction of the heat exchanger core. Drawn projecting portions for forming fluid paths from the side tank to the header tanks, and protruding portions for forming the fluid introduction/discharge paths in the side tank, may be formed without generation of cracks or too thin portions when the side tank forming. plates are processed. Consequently, a side tank having a desired structure may be formed, thereby achieving a high-performance heat exchanger.
