- the flow-path width W11a of the first-fluid outlet vicinity 11a after the first flow paths 11 have been merged may be made larger than the total of the flow-path widths W11b of the upstream-side portions 11b, disposed upstream of the first-fluid outlet vicinity 11a, before the first flow paths 11 have been merged.
- the flow-path cross-sectional area S11a of the first-fluid outlet vicinity 11a after the first flow paths 11 have been merged can be made larger than the total of the flow-path cross-sectional areas S11b of the upstream-side portions 11b, disposed upstream of the first-fluid outlet vicinity 11a, before the first flow paths 11 have been merged.
- each second flow path 21 is formed so that the flow-path width W21a of the second-fluid outlet vicinity 21a, positioned in the vicinity of the outlet for the second fluid, of the second flow path 21 is larger than the flow-path width W21b of the upstream-side portion 21b disposed upstream of the second-fluid outlet vicinity 21a.
- the flow-path cross-sectional area S21a of each second-fluid outlet vicinity 21a is larger than the flow-path cross-sectional area S21b of each upstream-side portion 21b disposed upstream of the second-fluid outlet vicinity 21a, to suppress an increase in pressure loss in the second flow paths 21 caused by an increase in the amount of gas component flowing in the second flow paths 21 due to evaporation of the second fluid.
- the structure for forming the second flow paths 21 so that, when the first fluid is to be cooled by a refrigerant as the second fluid, the flow-path cross-sectional area S21a of the second-fluid outlet vicinity 21a is larger than the flow-path cross-sectional area S21b of the upstream-side portion 21b disposed upstream of the second-fluid outlet vicinity 21a is not limited thereto.
- the second flow paths 21 may be merged so that the number of flow paths at the second-fluid outlet vicinities 21a is less than the number of flow paths at the upstream-side portions disposed upstream of the second-fluid outlet vicinities 21a. For example, as shown in Fig.
- the flow-path width W21a of the second-fluid outlet vicinity 21a after the second flow paths 21 have been merged may be made larger than the total of the flow-path widths W21b of the upstream-side portions 21b, disposed upstream of the second-fluid outlet vicinity 21a, before the second flow paths 21 have been merged.
- the flow-path cross-sectional area S21a of the second-fluid outlet vicinity 21a after the second flow paths 21 have been merged can be made larger than the total of the flow-path cross-sectional areas S21b of the upstream-side portions 21b, disposed upstream of the second-fluid outlet vicinity 21a, before the second flow paths 21 have been merged.
- the total of the flow-path cross-sectional areas S21a may be made larger than the total of the flow-path cross-sectional areas S21b by branching the second flow paths 21 so that the number of flow paths at the second-fluid outlet vicinity 21a is larger than the number of flow paths at the upstream-side portion 21b disposed upstream of the second-fluid outlet vicinity 21a.
- the flow path group 21A positioned in the vicinity of the outlet for the second fluid may be defined as a second-fluid outlet vicinity 21a
- the flow path groups 21B and 21C may be defined as an upstream-side portion 21b disposed upstream of the second-fluid outlet vicinity 21a
- the number N21a of the second flow paths 21 of the flow path group 21A may be larger than the number N21b of the flow paths of the flow path groups 21B and 21C.
- the flow-path widths W21a and W21b (the flow-path cross-sectional areas S21a and S21b) of the second flow paths 21 are equal to each other, and the flow-path cross-sectional area S21a of the flow path group 21A and the total of the flow-path cross-sectional areas S21b of the flow path groups 21B and 21C are changed by changing the number of flow paths.
- the structure in which the number N21a of flow paths at the second-fluid outlet vicinity 21a is larger than the number N21a of flow paths at the upstream-side portion 21b disposed upstream of the second-fluid outlet vicinity 21a not only suppresses an increase in pressure loss in the second flow paths 21 of the water heat exchanger 1, but also can properly maintain the distribution performance in the second flow paths 21 for the second fluid by reducing the number of flow paths near the inlet for the second fluid.
- the present invention can be widely applied to a water heat exchanger that includes a first layer and a second layer that are stacked upon each other, with the first layer having first flow paths formed in a plurality of rows and through which water as a first fluid flows and the second layer having second flow paths formed in a plurality of rows and through which a refrigerant as a second fluid flows and that exchanges heat between the first fluid and the second fluid.
