Heat exchanger

Abstract

The purpose of the present invention is to provide a heat exchanger which minimizes pressure drops of the heating medium by allowing smooth circulation of same along the heating medium channels formed between plates, improves the efficiency of heat exchange by preventing localized overheating, and which additionally facilitates the production of the heat exchanger. The present invention comprises a heat exchange part having heating medium channels, through which heating medium flows, and combustion gas channels, through which combustion gas burned in a burner flows, adjacently disposed in alternation in the spaces between the plurality of plates, wherein the heat exchange part surrounds the outer sides of a central combustion chamber space, a plurality of the heat exchange parts are provided in a stacked structure, and the flow direction of the heating medium is unidirectional only in a part of the heating medium channels from among the heating medium channels provided in each layer.
