Abstract: A heat exchange module 12 is formed by stacking pipe groups obtained by fixing a plurality of pipes 1 with use of pipe array holding members 9a to 9d. Flow path forming members 50 are arranged on pipe groups in the uppermost and lowermost layers, and walls 51 and 52 are provided so as to protrude from the outer-side pipe array holding members and the inner-side pipe array holding members. Flow path members 63 are provided between the walls 51 and 52 adjacent to each other so as to allow through holes 53 and 54 to communicate with each other. The heat exchange module 12 is housed in the housing 2, and while rotating the housing 2, a resin material 24 is filled into a space enclosed by the two inner-side pipe array holding members of each pipe group in the housing 2, interstices around the pipes present between an opening 15a of the housing and the outer-side pipe array holding members, and interstices around the pipes present between an opening 15b of the housing and the outer-side pipe array holding members.

Abstract: A hollow fiber bundle that is formed by arranging a plurality of porous hollow fiber membranes 8 in one direction; a heat exchange pipe bundle that is formed by arranging and laminating a plurality of heat exchange pipes 9 in one direction crossing the hollow fiber membranes and is apposed with the hollow fiber bundle; and a potting material 10 that is filled in a region including both end parts of the hollow fiber membranes and the heat exchange pipes and forms a blood channel extending across the hollow fiber membranes and the heat exchange pipes are provided. The housing includes: blood ports 3a, 3b that face both ends of the blood channel; gas headers 4a, 4b that form gas ports 5a, 5b facing both ends of the hollow fiber bundle; and heat exchange headers 6a, 6b that form heat exchange liquid ports 7a, 7b facing both ends of the heat exchange pipe bundle.

Abstract: A heat exchanger includes a plurality of tubes 2 through an inner cavity of which a heat-transfer medium liquid flows, a sealing member 6 that seals the plurality of tubes 2 while exposing both ends thereof, with a blood channel passing outside each of the tubes 2 being formed in a central portion in the axial direction of the tubes, and a housing 5 that accommodates the tubes 2 sealed with the sealing member 6. The heat exchanger further includes a hollow fiber membrane 3 that is formed of a plurality of hydrophobic and gas permeable hollow fibers 4 and that is disposed on at least one of an entrance side and an exit side of the blood channel in the housing 5 so that a liquid flowing through the blood channel passes through the hollow fiber membrane 3. The housing 5 includes openings 10 for exposing open ends of each of the hollow fibers 4 forming the hollow fiber membrane 3 to the outside, and gaps between an inner side of the openings and the hollow fibers 4 are sealed.

Abstract: A thin tube bundle (2) including a plurality of heat transfer thin tubes (1) is sealed by seal members (3a-3c) to form a blood channel (5) that crosses the heat transfer thin tubes. Heat transfer thin tube headers (6, 7) having an inlet port and an outlet port (6a, 7a) of heat medium liquid form flow chambers that contain ends of the thin tube bundle. The thin tube bundle is divided in a direction of the blood channel and forms a stack structure of thin tube bundle units (12a-12c). The flow chambers are partitioned into a plurality of flow compartments (13a, 13b, 14a, 14b) by partition walls (6b, 7b) to form a channel that allows heat medium liquid to pass through the respective thin tube bundle units successively via the flow compartments. An end of one of the thin tube bundle units on both sides of a border corresponding to the partition wall protrudes further than an end of the other thin tube bundle unit, and a side face of the partition wall contacts an side face of the protruding portion.
