Abstract
The present invention relates to a heat exchanger capable of ensuring sufficient cooling performance and drainage performance even in a narrow width, and the heat exchanger includes first and second header tanks into and from which a cooling fluid is introduced and discharged, the first and second header tanks being spaced apart from each other at a predetermined distance, and a core part disposed between the first and second header tanks, having a plurality of tubes and fins, and configured to perform a movement of the cooling fluid and heat exchange of the cooling fluid, in which a center of the outer header plate includes a first bent portion recessed toward the core part, and a drain hole is formed in the first bent portion, such that condensate water may be discharged.
Claims18
A heat exchanger comprising:
- first and second header tanks into and from which a cooling fluid is introduced and discharged, the first and second header tanks being spaced apart from each other at a predetermined distance;
- and
- a core part disposed between the first and second header tanks, having a plurality of tubes and fins, and configured to perform a movement of the cooling fluid and heat exchange of the cooling fluid,
- wherein the first or second header tank comprises:
- an outer header plate configured to define an outer periphery of the tank;
- and
- an inner header plate coupled to the plurality of tubes and the outer header plate and configured to define a closed cross-section,
- wherein a center of the outer header plate includes a first bent portion recessed toward the core part, and
- wherein a drain hole is formed in the first bent portion.
