<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a heat exchanger having a hgh-rigidity connection plate. <P>SOLUTION: The heat exchanger (1) is particularly an oil-water heat exchanger comprising a connection plate (2) fixed to an element particularly being an internal combustion engine, and a plurality of pan elements (3) stacked and brazed. The pan element (3) at least directly adjacent to the connection plate (2) has a flange-like rim (4), and when the heat exchanger (1) is installed, the rim (4) is fixed to the connection plate (2), thus enhancing rigidity of the connection plate (2). Thereby, the thickness of the connection plate (2) is reduced to achieve a compact design. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT |
