- That is, boilers, which are used in houses or public buildings, are used for heating or hot water. The water heater is used to quickly heat cold water at a predetermined temperature in order to allow a user to conveniently use hot water.
- The combustion device, such as the boiler and the water heater, includes a system that generally uses oil or gas as fuel and burns the fuel by a burner, heats water by using the heat of combustion generated in the combustion process, and provides the heated water (hot water) according to user's needs.
- The combustion device is provided with a heat exchanger so as to absorb the heat of combustion generated from a burner. Various method of improving the heat transfer efficiency of the heat exchanger has been proposed in the related art.

The heat exchange device includes a plurality ofheat exchange pipes heat exchange pipes - The heating water inlet 10 and the
heat exchange pipes pipe connectors 11. Theheating water outlet 30 and theheat exchange pipes pipe connectors 31. - Each of the

pipe connectors 31, which connect theheat exchange pipes members pipe connectors 11 at the entrance of the heating water have the same structure). - However, in the heat exchanger having the above-mentioned structure, a distance between the heat exchange pipes is large due to the structural characteristic of the heat exchange pipes that include the upper and lower plates and first and second connecting members. For this reason, there is a drawback in that heat transfer efficiency deteriorates. Further, there are problems in that it is difficult to actually apply the heat exchanger to a boiler because the manufacture of the heat exchanger is complicated and difficult.

Both ends of the plurality of heat exchange pipe units may be fitted into the pipe insertion holes. Both ends of the heat exchange pipe units, first and second subsidiary plates, and first and second end plates may be fixed by brazing welding, respectively.
- Further, the plurality of heat exchange pipe units may form a series of flow passages of which flow directions are alternately changed in opposite directions while the heating water, which flows from the heat exchange pipe unit provided at one end, flows to the heat exchange pipe unit provided at the other end in opposite directions.
- In this case, the heating water inlet may be formed through the first end plate, and the heating water outlet may be formed through the second end plate.
- Furthermore, the heating water inlet may be formed on the outer surface of the heat exchange pipe unit into which heating water flows, and the heating water outlet may be formed on the outer surface of the heat exchange pipe unit from which heating water flows.
- Meanwhile, the cross-sections of the plurality of heat exchange pipes may be formed so that a distance between the heat exchange pipes at the entrance of the combustion gas is large and a distance between the heat exchange pipes at the exit of the combustion gas is small.
