  • Publication number: 20100206533
    Abstract: A heat exchanger includes a plurality of tubes in which a thermal fluid flows, and a tank located at one longitudinal end portion of each tube and is brazed to the longitudinal end portions of the tubes to communicate with the tubes. The tank and the tube are respectively made of clad material plates in each of which a brazing material is clad on at least one surface of a core material. The brazing material of the tank and the brazing material of the tube respectively include Si content. Furthermore, a rate of the Si content in the brazing material of the tank is lower than that in the brazing material of the tube, and is in a range larger than 0% and equal to or smaller than 6%. Thus, meltage of the tube due to molten brazing material can be reduced during brazing of the tube and the tank.
