A header box includes a first bottom plate and an unperforated cover plate. The first bottom plate includes a first surface and a second surface opposite to the first surface. The first bottom plate is of a one-piece configuration. The first surface is recessed inwardly to form a straight first hole extending along a length direction. The second surface is recessed inwardly to form at least two straight second holes extending along a width direction perpendicular to the length direction. The first hole is communicated with the at least two second holes. The cover plate is connected to the first surface to block an opening of the first hole on the first surface. A heat exchanger having the header box is also disclosed.

Provided are an integrated connector and a heat exchanger including the same, which may prevent assembly defects and leaks of a heat exchanger because the connector may be manufactured with precise dimensions, and is easy to manufacture, by integrally forming the connector that connects and firmly couples a header tank and a gas-liquid separator so that a heat exchanger medium communicates in the heat exchanger such as a condenser, in which the integrated connector is formed by molding a first pipe portion inserted into a hole of the header tank, a first flange portion in surface contact with an outer surface of the header tank, a second pipe portion inserted into a hole of the gas-liquid separator, and a second flange portion in surface contact with an outer surface of the gas-liquid separator so as to be connected to one another and have an interior communicating with one another.

A heat exchanger includes a plurality of flat heat transfer tubes and a header, wherein each of the flat heat transfer tubes internally includes a plurality of windward channels and a plurality of leeward channels that are arranged on a leeward side of the windward channels, the header includes a main body unit having an internal space that is connected to the windward channels and the leeward channels, a partition member that separates the internal space into a windward side space at a side of ends of the windward channels and a leeward side space at a side of ends of the leeward channels, and an inflow portion that supplies a refrigerant to the lower portion of the leeward side space, and an upper side communication path that allows communication between the leeward side space and the windward side space is formed in an upper portion of the partition member.

A heat exchanger includes a tubular refrigerant distributor having insertion holes spaced from each other in a first direction and into which ends of heat transfer tubes are inserted in a second direction. A first partition plate partitions the refrigerant distributor into a first space into which the ends of the heat transfer tubes are inserted and a second space, larger than the first space, into which the ends of the heat transfer tubes are not inserted; and an inflow pipe provided on a one side-surface side of the refrigerant distributor. The heat transfer tubes are located apart from the first partition plate in the first space. The first partition plate is provided with an orifice that is provided at a location corresponding to a space between adjacent ones of the heat transfer tubes, and that causes the first space and the second space to communicate with each other.
