A method for manufacturing a heat exchanger, the heat exchanger comprising a pipe structure having an inlet and an outlet formed therein and providing a flow path which is extended between the inlet and the outlet and through which a refrigerant flows and a heat dissipation structure coupled to the pipe structure to exchange heat between the refrigerant and an external fluid, the method comprising:
- a mold preparation operation in which a first mold and a second mold are prepared to be combined with each other and to form a cavity corresponding to a shape of the heat dissipation structure;
- an insert installation operation in which, before the first mold and the second mold are combined with each other, an insert including at least a part of the heat dissipation structure is installed in the middle corresponding to the cavity;
- a mold-combining operation in which the first mold and the second mold are combined with each other to form the cavity and the insert is disposed in the cavity;
- and
- an injection fluid injection operation in which an injection fluid is injected into the cavity,
- wherein the injection fluid comprises a liquid resin material including a carbon material.
A method for manufacturing a heat exchanger, the method comprising:
- a heat dissipation structure preparation operation in which a heat dissipation structure made of a composite material including a resin material and a carbon material is prepared;
- an electrode assembly operation in which a first electrode and a second electrode are assembled to the heat dissipation structure;
- and
- a tube assembly operation in which a main pipe portion on which a fluid to be heat-exchanged flows, is assembled to the heat dissipation structure,
- wherein the tube assembly operation is performed by inserting the main pipe portion into a tube path formed on the heat dissipation structure.
