A heat exchanger for a dryer includes a plurality of tube units in which wet air is circulated, and a plurality of fin units alternately laminated with the plurality of tube units, in which external air flows. The tube and fin units are bonded to one another at contact portions by a cladding material interposed therebetween. The cladding material is formed of a material having a melting point lower than the melting points of the tube and fin units. The cladding material can be a metallic material including aluminum or aluminum alloy. A very thin layer of cladding material helps to increase the heat transfer efficiency of the device. Likewise, using a cladding material with good thermal transfer characteristics helps to improve the heat transfer efficiency of the device. Bonding the tube units to the fin units using such a cladding material can reduce the fabrication cost and fabrication time compared to heat exchange units where the bonding is done with an epoxy.
