Abstract
An intercooler has a case through which supercharging air passes, and a heat exchangermounted inside the case which allows heat exchange between the supercharging air and a cooling fluid. A frame bodyis provided at the circumferential edges of air passage portions of the heat exchangeron a supercharging air intake side and a supercharging air outlet side to reduce the gap between the heat exchanger and the inner wall of the case. The heat exchangerhas a pair of tanksand, tubes communicating between the tanks, and a plurality of finsset along the tubes, and assumes a structure that allows the supercharging air to pass through the heat exchanger a plurality of times by sequentially passing through blocks formed by dividing a heat exchanging unitA into a plurality of blocks with partitioning plates
