Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0632246A2] A heat exchanger includes a pair of tanks (14,15) and a heat exchanger core comprising a plurality of upstream and downstream heat-transfer tubes (11,31,41) and fin units (12). The downstream tubes have a cross sectional area which is greater than that of the upstream tubes for preventing the downstream heat-transfer tubes from becoming clogged by corrosion products which are grown in the upstream tubes. Further, a filter device (24) may be disposed in the tank for filtering out corrosion products before they enter the downstream tubes. <IMAGE>
