  • Patent number: 5228315
    Abstract: A condenser of the type having a receiver tank formed integrally with the condenser has each of two opposed header tanks composed of a tube-receiving plate and a tank plate. The tank plate of one of the header tanks is formed of an extruded section member having a hollow portion forming a receiver tank and the extruded section member further has auxiliary passages. The tube-receiving plates of the header tanks are structurally independent so that formation of tube-receiving holes and application of cladding material can be performed for each tube-receiving plate, and a condenser having a plurality of flow paths can be constructed. In addition, if heat transfer between the hollow portion and the one header tank has a negative effect on the operation of the condenser, a heat insulating space is formed between the hollow portion and the one header tank for controlling heat transfer therebetween.
