Exhaust heat recovery device

An exhaust heat recovery device comprising:

• a chamber-shaped branching member having one inlet for introducing exhaust gas and two outlets for discharging the exhaust gas;
• a first flow channel, extending from one of the two outlets, for circulating the exhaust gas;
• a heat exchanger, provided to the first flow channel, for recovering potential heat of the exhaust gas;
• a second flow channel, extending from other one of the two outlets, for circulating the exhaust gas while bypassing the heat exchanger;
• and
• a valve chamber for housing a valve designed to open and closing the outlet of the second flow channel,
• wherein the branching member comprises a single chamber formed by joining together a first chamber half in which one inlet is provided, the first chamber half being draw-molded from a blank, and a second chamber half in which two outlets are provided, the second chamber half being draw-molded from a blank.
