ABSTRACT:
The present invention attempts to offer a heat exchanger apparatus capable of absorbing its compression during its soldering and of allowing an easy connection of its intake/outlet pipes to an expansion valve, wherein the expansion valve is mounted, via a joint member, on refrigerant intake/outlet pipes integrally installed on the core of the heat exchanger apparatus, and wherein said joint member has a securing means for securing one of said intake/outlet pipes, and a compression-absorbing means for the other one of said intake/outlet pipes to slide in the stacking direction of said heat exchanger apparatus. Then, said one of the intake/outlet pipes is secured when the heat exchanger apparatus is soldered in a furnace, while the other one of the intake/outlet pipes can slide toward the joint member according to the compression of the heat exchanger apparatus; thereby, the compression during the soldering of the heat exchange apparatus can be absorbed; the positions of the pipes are determined; the distance between both pipes, which have been secured under these conditions, can be determined.
