A heat exchanger includes a prism-shaped heat exchange element, a plurality of frame members mounted to sides of the element in a one-to-one relationship, the sides extending along an axial direction of the heat exchange element, and cover members each covering an end face of the element, the end face being perpendicular to the axial direction of the heat exchange element. The frame members are connected to each of the cover members. Gaps for allowing movement of each of the frame members along a direction perpendicular to the axial direction of the heat exchange element are provided at each connecting portion at which the frame members are connected to the cover member. Thus, it is possible to move the frame members along with deformation of the heat exchange element.
