HEAT EXCHANGER AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURING THE SAME

A method for manufacturing a heat exchanger (1) includes joining an inner fin (3) to a hollow structure (20) formed from at least two clad plates (200a, 200b) by heating and brazing a filler metal layer (B). Each clad plate has a core layer (A) composed of an aluminum alloy that contains Mg: 0.40-1....

Summary:A method for manufacturing a heat exchanger (1) includes joining an inner fin (3) to a hollow structure (20) formed from at least two clad plates (200a, 200b) by heating and brazing a filler metal layer (B). Each clad plate has a core layer (A) composed of an aluminum alloy that contains Mg: 0.40-1.0 mass %. The filler metal layer is composed of an aluminum alloy that contains Si: 4.0-13.0 mass %, and further contains Li: 0.0040-0.10 mass %, Be: 0.0040-0.10 mass %, and/or Bi: 0.01-0.30 mass %. The inner fin is composed of an aluminum alloy that contains Si: 0.30-0.70 mass % and Mg: 0.35-0.80 mass %. A flux (F) that contains cesium (Cs) is applied along a contact part (201), and the vicinity thereof, of the at least two clad plates prior to the heating. A heat exchanger (1) may be manufactured according to this method.
