Abstract
A liquid reservoir used in a heat exchanger, for example an automotive air conditioner, and a manufacturing method therefor. The liquid reservoir includes an inlet hole and an outlet hole. The outlet hole is provided with a filter element covering the outlet hole. A flow area at a location of the outlet hole covered by the filter element is greater than the cross-sectional area of other locations of the outlet hole. In this way, in the case that other structures of the inlet hole are not improved, a filtering area of the filter element is increased, thereby increasing a flow area of a refrigerant, reducing a flow resistance effect exerted by the filter element on the refrigerant, and reducing a workload of the heat exchanger.
