Abstract
The present invention relates to a heat exchanger comprising: a header tank having a plurality of flow paths in which a heat exchange medium flows; multiple rows of tubes connected to the header tank; and heat radiation fins interposed between the tubes, wherein the tubes include a heat exchange part coupled to the heat radiation fins and a coupling part that is formed on a longitudinal end of the heat exchange part and coupled to the header tank, the width of the coupling part is formed to be less than the width of the heat exchange part so that the overall package size of the heat exchanger may be reduced, thus enabling a compact configuration, and the space between neighboring rows of the tubes may be reduced, thus making it possible to reduce the material of the heat radiation fins.
Claims8
A heat exchanger comprising:
- a header tank including a plurality of flow paths through which a heat exchange medium flows;
- multiple rows of tubes connected to the header tank;
- and
- a heat radiation fin interposed between the tubes,
- wherein the tube includes a heat exchange part coupled to the heat radiation fin and a coupling part positioned at a longitudinal end of the heat exchange part to be coupled to the header tank, and the coupling part has a width less than a width of the heat exchange part,
- wherein the header tank includes:
- the flow paths positioned independently from each other by a partition positioned in the header tank,
- a header including multiple rows of tube insertion holes into which the tube is inserted;
- a tank coupled to the header to have a space in which the heat exchange medium flows;
- and
- a partition coupled to the header and the tank to partition the inner space of the tank,
- wherein the coupling part of the tube is inserted and coupled to the tube insertion hole,
