A heat exchanger for a heat exchange operation such as sensible heat exchange, evaporation and condensation, and more particularly, a serpentine-type serviceable heat exchanger where a heat exchanger coil which guides a heat transfer medium for a heat exchange is formed in a serpentine shape, and a method for manufacturing the same. The serpentine-type serviceable heat exchanger includes a heat exchanger coil having a plurality of linear coils disposed in parallel, and a connection coil disposed between the two neighboring linear coils and fittedly-coupled to the linear coils such that a serpentine-type inner passage is formed as the linear coils are connected to each other by the connection coil; and a frame having an edge forming portion which forms an edge such that the heat exchanger coil is installed therein, and a supporting portion which supports the heat exchanger coil installed in an edge formed by the edge forming portion.
