<p>A shielding member (1) includes a shielding plate (2) for covering a part of a heat exchanger (10), heat transfer tube engagement sections (3) for engaging with heat transfer tubes (23) of the heat exchanger, fin engagement portions (4) for engaging with fins (25) of the heat exchanger, a bypass preventing rib (5) for preventing air from being directed to the part of the heat exchanger, and a mismounting preventing portion (6) for preventing the shielding member (1) from being mounted on a heat exchanger that does not require blocking of air flow. The heat exchanger (10) in which the part covered with the shielding member (1) has no heat exchanging function can be manufactured with the same components as those of a heat exchanger on which the shielding member (1) is not mounted and the whole of which has a heat exchanging function. Thus, heat exchangers having different heat exchanging capacities can be manufactured with a totally reduced number of components and therefore manufacturing cost can be reduced.</p> |
