<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a heat exchange apparatus capable of improving heat exchange efficiency between a fluid medium and a sheet-like member and an image forming apparatus equipped with the heat exchange apparatus. <P>SOLUTION: There is provided a heat exchange apparatus, which comprises: a heat exchange body in which flow channels through which a fluid medium flows in a direction orthogonal to a conveyance direction of a sheet-like member are formed; and fluid medium conveying means which conveys the fluid medium to the flow channels through a piping communicated with an inlet opening part and an outlet opening part respectively installed at an upstream side and a downstream side in a flowing direction of the fluid medium in the flow channels, and exchanges heat between the sheet-like member and the fluid medium by bringing the sheet-like member into contact with a heat exchange surface of the heat exchange body directly or through a heat transfer member, in which the flow channels are formed inside the heat exchange body in multi-layers in a direction away from the heat exchange surface. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT |
