Therefore, when a neutral axis N along the z direction is assumed in the cross-section illustrated in Fig. 7 , a section modulus of each of the reinforcing elements 3A around the neutral axis N is greater than a section modulus of each of the flat tubes 1 around the neutral axis N. Therefore, even if each of the reinforcing elements 3A is made of the material same as the material of each of the flat tubes 1, strength and rigidity of each of the reinforcing elements 3A are higher than strength and rigidity of each of the flat tubes 1. Further, since each of the reinforcing elements 3A is made of a material higher in strength and rigidity than the material of each of the flat tubes 1, each of the reinforcing elements 3A is further higher in strength and rigidity than each of the flat tubes 1.
  • the plurality of flat tubes 1 and the reinforcing elements 3A connected to the headers 2 each have the same cross-sectional outer shape. Therefore, when the headers 2 and the plurality of flat tubes 1 are joined by brazing in manufacturing, the reinforcing elements 3A are also joined by using a positioning tool common to the plurality of flat tubes 1. This makes it possible to simplify the positioning tool of the reinforcing elements 3A and the plurality of flat tubes 1 in manufacturing.
  • shapes of insertion portions into which the ends 11 and 12 of the plurality of flat tubes 1 and the ends 31 and 32 of the reinforcing elements 3A are inserted can also be made common. This makes it possible to reduce a manufacturing cost of the headers 2.
  • Each of the reinforcing elements 3A illustrated in Fig. 7 has flat side surfaces 35 in the cross-section illustrated in Fig. 7 , and is disposed such that one of the side surfaces 35 faces one of flat surfaces 15 of the adjacent flat tube 1. Accordingly, as with the plurality of flat tubes 1, the reinforcing elements 3A allow the fluid to flow through spaces between the side surfaces 35 and the flat surfaces 15, and do not inhibit the flow of the fluid.
  • Fig. 8 is a cross-sectional view of a heat exchanger 50B as another modification of the heat exchanger 50 according to Embodiment 1.
  • Fig. 8 illustrates a cross-section taken along line A-A in Fig. 2 .
  • the heat exchanger 50B includes reinforcing elements 3B each having an I-shaped cross-section in Fig. 8 .
  • Each of the reinforcing elements 3B has flange portions extending in the x direction and in the direction opposite to the x direction, at both ends in the z direction.
  • Each of the reinforcing elements 3B can have a section modulus around the neutral axis N greater than the section modulus of each of the flat tubes 1 by appropriately setting a width in the x direction of each of the flange portions.
  • Fig. 9 is a perspective view of a single reinforcing element 3B in Fig. 8 .

  • strength and rigidity of the center portion 33 of each of the reinforcing elements 3B are higher than strength and rigidity of the heat transfer portion 13 of each of the flat tubes 1.
  • the ends 31 and 32 of each of the reinforcing elements 3B inserted into the insertion portions of the headers 2 have the shape same as the shape of each of the flat tubes 1.
  • the insertion portions of the headers 2 into which the reinforcing elements 3B are inserted can be made in the shape same as the insertion portions into which the flat tubes 1 are inserted.
  • the reinforcing elements 3B can be inserted into the headers 2 as with the flat tubes 1 while each having the shape higher in strength and rigidity than each of the flat tubes 1, which facilitates manufacturing of the heat exchanger 50B.
  • each of the reinforcing elements 3B has end surfaces 34 and 35 at both ends in the longitudinal direction.
  • the end surfaces 34 and 35 of each of the reinforcing elements 3B respectively come into contact with the lower surface of the first header 2b and the upper surface of the second header 2a while the ends 31 and 32 are inserted into the headers 2. Therefore, when a load is applied in a direction in which the reinforcing elements 3B of the heat exchanger 50B are bent, the end surfaces 34 and 35 respectively come into contact with the lower surface of the first header 2b and the upper surface of the second header 2a to receive the load. This further improves strength and rigidity of the heat exchanger 50B.

  • the reinforcing element 3C positioned at the end in the x direction of the heat exchanger 50C and the reinforcing element 3C positioned at the end in the direction opposite to the x direction of the heat exchanger 50C are disposed symmetrically about the center of the heat exchanger 50C in Fig. 10 .
  • strength and rigidity to deformation in the x direction and strength and rigidity to deformation in the direction opposite to the x direction are equal to each other in the heat exchanger 50C, which can exert stable strength.
  • each of the reinforcing elements 3C is formed to open outward from the center toward both ends in the z direction, relative to the arrangement of the plurality of flat tubes 1 of the heat exchanger 50C. Therefore, the reinforcing elements 3C easily introduce the fluid to both ends of the arrangement of the plurality of flat tubes 1.
