Abstract (en)

A protect structure, of a heat exchanger (1) for a motor vehicle, includes a core part (2) of the heat exchanger (1) and a protect member (20). The core part (2) has a plurality of tubes (5) and fins (6) that are alternately arranged with each other, and the protect member (20) is provided at a front side of the core part (2). The protect member (20) has a plurality of protecting portions (21: 30) extending in a longitudinal direction of the tubes (5) to cover front sides of the tubes (5) of the core part (2) and avoid a collision between the core part (2) and an attack object (X) that is flown from an oblique front side of the motor vehicle toward the core part (2).
