Abstract
A heat exchanger causes heat exchange between water and a refrigerant. The heat exchanger includes a first flow path through which the water flows, and a second flow path through which the refrigerant flows. A fragile portion is formed by any one of members forming the first flow path other than a partition wall partitioning the first flow path and the second flow path or any one of joining portions where members forming the first flow path are joined to each other. The fragile portion has a lower strength than the other members forming the first flow path.
