Abstract: An apparatus for manufacturing a heat exchanger tube includes an extruding means for extruding an aluminum preform in the shape of a tube; and a pair of compression rollers, each provided above and below the aluminum tube for compressing a central portion of the aluminum tube in the lengthwise direction of the aluminum tube, and having a disc-like shape. The present invention can process a heat exchanger tube without changing the shape of a die of the extruding means. As a result, excessive stress that may be applied to the die is prevented, and a heat exchanger tube is manufactured safely. And, an integrated two parallel-row tube with a connection portion according to the present invention provides simple assembly of a heat exchanger and a larger heat radiation area to increase a heat radiation efficiency.

Abstract: For flux coating of a heat exchanger tube made of aluminum, firstly, the heat exchanger tube is dipped in a storage tank containing a mixture of binder and solvent to coat the mixture on a surface of the heat exchanger tube, thereby forming a first coating layer on the surface of the heat exchanger tube. Then, flux powder is sprayed to the surface of the heat exchanger tube on which the first coating layer is formed, thereby forming a second coating layer. After that, a thickness of the heat exchanger tube on which the second coating layer is formed is controlled. Then, the thickness-controlled heat exchanger tube is heated to 150° C. or below so as to remove the solvent from the second coating layer.
