  • Patent number: 10295281
    Abstract: A fin-tube type of heat exchanger has: a plurality of fins laminated to one another; a housing for containing therein the fins; and a heat transfer tube penetrating the fins in a fin-laminating direction and also penetrating side plates on both sides of the housing. A heat transfer tube through hole is formed in one-side side plate of the housing by a burred hole having a tubular flange part protruded into the housing. Each fin has a brazing material insertion hole adjacent to the heat transfer tube through hole. That portion of a brazing material which protrudes from the brazing material insertion hole of the outermost fin closest to the one-side side plate part toward the one-side side plate part gets molten. The tubular flange part has a cutout part formed, at a circumferential position facing the brazing material insertion hole, by partly cutting away the tubular flange part.
