Patent number: 11913734Abstract: A receiver includes a large diameter main body portion, and an intermediate member side small diameter portion. A wall thickness of the intermediate member side small diameter portion is smaller than a wall thickness of the main body portion. As a result, heat capacity of the intermediate member side small diameter portion is reduced. As a result, it is possible to complete brazing between the intermediate member side small diameter portion and the intermediate member, at the same time as brazing among tanks, tubes, and fins. A desiccant enclosed in a flexible bag can be taken in and out through the intermediate member side small diameter portion.Type: GrantFiled: November 1, 2021Date of Patent: February 27, 2024Assignees: DENSO AIRCOOL CORPORATION, DENSO CORPORATIONInventors: Michihiro Yamakoshi, Hiroki Matsuo, Masanobu Iio
