PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To keep the uniform flow distribution of a heat exchange fluid and improve a bubble removing function by forming a heat fluid inlet at the lower end of a heat exchange fluid chamber and a heat exchange fluid outlet at the upper end of the chamber, and inclining the heat exchange fluid contact surface of at least the upper end seal material of seal materials at both ends, relative to horizontal surface. SOLUTION: A heat exchange fluid introduced via a heat exchange fluid inlet 5 flows vertically upward in a housing to perform a heat exchange process, and flows out from a heat exchange fluid outlet 2. In this case, the wetted surfaces 6 and 7 of seal materials at both ends of a heat exchanger are formed in such a state as inclined for a horizontal surface. In other words, the surfaces 6 and 7 are respectively inclined so as to rise in a direction for parting from the heat exchange fluid inlet and outlet 5 and 2. According to this construction, bubbles entering a heat exchange fluid chamber 8 move upward along a slope and do not stagnate at such a position as the connection of the seal materials and straight tubes. Also, the bubbles are removed from the heat exchange fluid outlet 2.
