Abstract
A heat exchanger includes: a manifold having a manifold opening passing through a pipe wall of the manifold; a distribution pipe disposed in the manifold and having a distribution pipe opening passing through a pipe wall of the distribution pipe; and a connecting pipe assembly including a first connecting pipe The first connecting pipe is inserted in the manifold opening, has an end connected to the distribution pipe at the distribution pipe opening, and is in fluid communication with the distribution pipe. Thereby, the space occupied by the connecting pipe assembly in the manifold can be reduced.

A heat exchanger, comprising:
- a manifold having a manifold opening passing through a pipe wall of the manifold;
- a distribution pipe disposed in the manifold and having a distribution pipe opening passing through a pipe wall of the distribution pipe;
- and
- a connecting pipe assembly comprising a first connecting pipe,
- wherein the first connecting pipe is inserted in the manifold opening, has an end connected to the distribution pipe at the distribution pipe opening, and is in fluid communication with the distribution pipe, and
- wherein the first connecting pipe does not extend over an outer surface of the manifold or wherein the first connecting pipe does not connect to an outer surface of the manifold.
