2. Description of the Related Art As such a heat exchanger, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 58-4 is available.
The one described in Japanese Patent No. 0116 is known.

[0003]

By the way, in the above-mentioned conventional device, the cross-sectional area of the flow passage is narrowed to about half at the entrance and exit of the high temperature fluid passage and the low temperature fluid passage.
There is a problem that large pressure loss occurs in that portion. Moreover, since the fluid inlets and outlets formed adjacent to each other are intertwined with each other, attempting to partition the inlet and outlet with a partition member not only complicates the structure of the partition member, but also increases the area of the joint portion such as brazing. Fluid leakage may occur.

The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned circumstances, and it is possible to sufficiently secure the flow passage cross-sectional area at the entrance and exit of the fluid passage to minimize the pressure loss, and moreover, the entrance and exit of the entrance and exit by the partition member. An object is to provide a heat exchanger that can be easily partitioned.

[0005]

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a plurality of first heat transfer plates and a plurality of second heat transfer plates which are alternately arranged via a first fold line and a second fold line. Folding plate materials continuously provided in the first and second folding lines are folded into a zigzag shape, and a gap between adjacent first folding lines is closed by joining the first folding line and the first end plate. At the same time, the gap between the adjacent second folding lines is closed by joining the second folding line and the second end plate, and a high temperature fluid passage and a low temperature are provided between the adjacent first heat transfer plate and second heat transfer plate. In a heat exchanger in which fluid passages are alternately formed, both ends of the first heat transfer plate and the second heat transfer plate in the flow passage direction are cut into a chevron having two edges, and the high temperature fluid passage is formed in the flow passage direction. When the hot fluid passage inlet is formed by closing one of the two edges and opening the other at one end At the other end of the high temperature fluid passage in the flow direction, one of the two edges is closed and the other end is opened to form a high temperature fluid outlet, and the other end of the low temperature fluid passage in the flow direction is formed. In order to form a low temperature fluid passage inlet by closing the other of the two edges and opening one of the two edges, the other of the two edges is closed at one end of the low temperature fluid passage in the flow direction. A low-temperature fluid passage outlet is formed by opening, and a partition plate is joined to the mountain-shaped apex portion on one end side in the flow passage direction to partition the high-temperature fluid passage inlet and the low-temperature fluid passage outlet,
It is characterized in that a partition plate is joined to the apex portion of the mountain shape on the other end side in the flow path direction to partition the low temperature fluid passage inlet and the high temperature fluid passage outlet.

[0006]

According to the above construction, the high temperature fluid passage inlet and outlet are formed at one end and the other end in the flow passage of the high temperature fluid passage, and the air passage inlet and outlet are formed at the other end and one end in the passage direction of the air passage. The outlet is formed, and the high temperature fluid and the air flow in opposite directions with the first heat transfer plate and the second heat transfer plate sandwiched therebetween, and heat exchange is performed. Both ends of the first heat transfer plate and the second heat transfer plate in the flow path direction are cut into a mountain shape, and the inlet and the outlet are formed on one and the other of the two edge edges of the mountain shape. A sufficient cross-sectional area of the road is secured, a smooth flow path is formed, pressure loss is reduced, and the inlet and the outlet are easily separated. Further, since the partition plate is joined to the apex portion of the chevron, the partition plate does not reduce the flow passage cross-sectional area of the inlet and the outlet, and the partition plate is divided into the first heat transfer plate and the second heat transfer plate. The smaller joint area reduces the potential for fluid leakage.

[0039]

As described above, according to the present invention, the high temperature fluid passage inlet and the low temperature fluid passage outlet are formed at one end of the heat exchanger in the passage direction, and the high temperature fluid passage is formed at the other end in the passage direction. Since the outlet and the inlet for the low temperature fluid passage are formed, the high temperature fluid and the low temperature fluid can flow in mutually opposite directions to improve heat exchange efficiency. Further, since both ends of the first heat transfer plate and the second heat transfer plate in the flow path direction are cut into a chevron shape and one of the two end edges of the chevron shape is opened to form an inlet and an outlet, a high temperature fluid is obtained. The flow passages of the passage and the low temperature fluid passage are formed smoothly, and the passage cross-sectional areas of the inlet and the outlet are sufficiently secured to minimize the occurrence of pressure loss, and the inlet and the outlet are easily separated. Mixing of hot and cold fluids can be avoided. Further, since the partition plate is joined to the apex of the chevron, it is possible to minimize the reduction of the flow passage cross-sectional area of the inlet and the outlet by the partition plate.
The area of the joint between the heat transfer plate and the second heat transfer plate and the partition plate can be minimized to reduce the possibility of fluid leakage.
