Patent number: 7490661Abstract: A heat exchanger is provided with a header tank having therein a circulation portion in which fluid flows, and multiple tubes which are stacked in a longitudinal direction of the header tank. The circulation portion is communicated with interiors of the tubes, and partitioned into an inlet side passage and other passages. An inflow port member is arranged at a longitudinal-direction end of the inlet side passage, and provided with multiple openings for causing at least a mainstream flow and a substream flow of fluid introduced toward the tubes. The mainstream flow is substantially evenly flow-divided by the substream flow.Type: GrantFiled: March 1, 2006Date of Patent: February 17, 2009Assignee: Denso CorporationInventors: Tatsuhiko Nishino, Tetsuya Takeuchi, Yoshiki Katoh

Patent number: 7464560Abstract: A flow passage through which a heat exchange medium flows is formed at least at a part of each airflow duct 3 to 6, and the heat exchange medium flowing through the passage (t) is allowed to cool or heat air flowing through the airflow duct 3 to 6. Alternatively, a heat generation film H is formed at a part of an inner surface of an air passage of each airflow duct 3 to 6 and is allowed to heat air flowing through the airflow duct 3 to 6. Because the airflow ducts 3 to 6 per se are first cooled or heated by the heat exchange medium flowing through the passage (t), the heat exchange loss with the airflow ducts, that has occurred in the prior art, can be eliminated. Because air conditioning wind is cooled or heated inside the airflow ducts 3 to 6, too, instantaneous cooling/warming performance can be improved.Type: GrantFiled: March 2, 2005Date of Patent: December 16, 2008Assignee: Denso CorporationInventors: Tatsuhiko Nishino, Eiichi Torigoe
