In an adsorption heat exchanger, adsorbent expanded by absorbing moisture and contracted by dissipating moisture is supported on a surface of a heat exchanger body. An adsorbent layer containing the adsorbent is formed on the surface of the heat exchanger body by applying slurry containing the adsorbent in a contracted state to the surface of the heat exchanger body and drying the slurry. A solvent of the slurry contains alcohol as a main component.
