(54) Heat exchanger


(57) A heat exchanger (1) includes an interior member (15,19,21,31). The interior member (15,19,21,31) functions as at least a filter for flowing a heat exchange medium and is accommodated in a refrigerant route. The interior member (15,19,21,31) is supported by the support portion (17,20) of the refrigerant route. An elastic member (24,25,34,35) is provided between the interior member (15,19,21,31) and the support member (17,20). The elastic member (24,25,34,35) seals said interior member (15,19,21,31) to prevent the heat exchange medium from bypassing between the interior member and the refrigerant route.
