ABSTRACT:
A heat exchanger1includes at least a plurality of tubes2and an upper tank4communicating with an upper end portion of a tube group formed by the tubes2so as to distribute coolant along the up/down direction. The coolant flows in through an inflow port9located at the upper tank4in the heat exchanger1. An open-top coolant intake guide passage25is disposed at the inflow port9and the coolant intake guide passage25is thus inserted at the upper tank4. With this configuration, coolant flowing at a very low flow rate has improved distribution, and uniformity in the output air temperature is achieved, while ensuring that the structure does not create excessive resistance against the coolant flow at a high flow rate.
