Abstract (en)

A heat exchanger (1) includes a header pipe (2, 3) comprising a header pipe body (6) and connecting portions (13, 14) projecting outwardly from the surface of the header pipe body (6) and connected to each other at a plane contact condition. A joint block (16) or a bracket (15) is connected to header pipe (2, 3) so that the joint block (16) or bracket (15) is brought into contact with both the header pipe body (6) and one or two connecting portions (13, 14). The joint block (16) or bracket (15) is precisely positioned relative to header pipe (2, 3), and a good brazing property therebetween can be achieved.
