To improve the heat exchange efficiency of a heat exchanger that includes an upstream heat exchange unit and a downstream heat exchange unit. When the heat exchanger functions as an evaporator, a gas outlet pipe is an upstream refrigerant outlet that is located adjacent to the other end of upstream flat pipes of the upstream heat exchange unit, and a gas outlet pipe is a downstream refrigerant outlet that is located adjacent to the other end of downstream flat pipes of the downstream heat exchange unit. First resistance to refrigerant flow in the upstream heat exchange unit and second resistance to refrigerant flow in the downstream heat exchange unit are adjusted in order that the degree of superheating of refrigerant at the downstream refrigerant outlet is smaller than the degree of superheating of refrigerant at the upstream refrigerant outlet.

Provided are a heat exchanger equipped with a cold reserving part and a manufacturing method thereof, equipped with a cold reserving part, in which since a cold reserving material charging part is formed at a portion at which an inlet and outlet member is formed, an additionally protruding part to inject the cold reserving material is not required, such that the heat exchanger may be miniaturized and may more rapidly and effectively absorb cold air to increase a cold reserving effect, and a manufacturing method of a heat exchanger equipped with a cold reserving part which forms the cold reserving material charging part to charge the cold reserving material after coating the heat exchanger to block a coating solution from introducing into the heat exchanger, thereby preventing the heat exchanger from corroding due to the coating solution to increase durability and more increase manufacturing performance.

A heat exchanger includes a main heat exchange unit including a plurality of first heat transfer pipes arranged side by side, a sub-heat exchange unit including a plurality of second heat transfer pipes arranged side by side, and a relay unit including a plurality of relay passages connecting the plurality of first heat transfer pipes and the plurality of second heat transfer pipes. Each of the plurality of relay passages has one inlet connected to a corresponding one of the plurality of second heat transfer pipes, and a plurality of outlets each connected to a corresponding one of the plurality of first heat transfer pipes. Each of the plurality of relay passages distributes refrigerant flowing from the one inlet, without merging streams of the refrigerant together, and causes the refrigerant to flow out of the plurality of outlets.

A microchannel evaporator includes a plurality of microchannels. Each of the plurality of microchannels includes a first end and a second end. A first end-tank is coupled to each first end of the plurality of microchannels and a second end-tank is coupled to each second end of the plurality of microchannels. A second-fluid inlet is coupled to either the first end-tank or the second end-tank and configured to receive a fluid into the microchannel evaporator and a second-fluid outlet is coupled to either the first end-tank or the second end-tank and configured to expel the fluid from the microchannel evaporator. Each microchannel of the plurality of microchannels includes at least one bend along a length thereof.

The invention relates to a heat exchange module (402) for a motor vehicle, comprising: a first heat exchanger (404) comprising at least a first stage (404a) and a second stage (404b), said first heat exchanger being configured such that the first and the second stages are in fluid connection within the same cooling circuit (600) of the motor vehicle; a ventilation device (408) comprising at least one tangential fan (410) for setting in motion an air flow (F) intended to pass through the first heat exchanger (404), and wherein the first (404a) and second (404b) stages of the first heat exchanger (404) are arranged opposite each other, one behind the other with respect to the direction of flow of the air flow (F), so that the air set in motion by the tangential fan (410) successively passes through the first stage (404a) and then through the second stage (404b).

A heat exchanger unit includes: a first heat exchanger including a first header, a second header, and a first flat pipe group that includes first flat multi-hole pipes connected to each of the first header and the second header; and a second heat exchanger: disposed in parallel with the first heat exchanger on an air downstream side, from the first heat exchanger, of air flow generated by a fan; and including a third header, a fourth header, and a second flat pipe group that includes second flat multi-hole pipes connected to each of the third header and the fourth header. The fourth header causes a refrigerant that flows in from the third header to flow out to the first header.
