Abstract
A connection structure is provided for connecting heat exchangers (11, 12) to each other for exchanging heat between a first fluid flowing in body parts (13, 14) and a second fluid flowing in heat transfer pipes (15, 16) disposed in the body parts (13, 14). The connection structure includes connection holes (17, 18) provided in the body parts (13, 14) of the heat exchangers (11, 12) and a press-formable connection member (19), connected to the outer surfaces of the body parts (13, 14) for fluidly coupling the connecting holes (17, 18) so that the body parts (13, 14) are allowed to communicate with each other.
Claims8
A structure for exchanging heat between a first fluid flowing in heat exchangers and a second fluid flowing in heat transfer pipes disposed within the heat exchangers comprising:
- a first heat exchanger;
- a first aperture provided in the first heat exchanger;
- a second heat exchanger;
- a second aperture provided in the second heat exchanger;
- and
- a cover having a single opening, the cover comprising:
- a base;
- a flange encircling the single opening, the flange being sized to circumvent the first aperture and the second aperture;
- and
- side walls that couple the base and the flange, the cover having a hollow interior that fluidly couples the first aperture and the second aperture.
