(54) HEAT EXCHANGER AND HEAT EXCHANGING UNIT


(57) A heat exchanger has a plurality of heat exchanger tubes. Each heat exchanger tube has an internal flow path through which a first fluid flows. These heat exchanger tubes are arranged so that an external flow path, through which a second fluid that exchanges heat with the first fluid flows, is formed between each two adjacent heat exchanger tubes. Each two adjacent heat exchanger tubes are bonded together at the inlets and outlets of the internal flow paths in the two heat exchanger tubes. One of each two adjacent heat exchanger tubes is offset with respect to the other heat exchanger tube in a direction perpendicular to an arrangement direction in which these heat exchanger tubes are arranged.
