Abstract:
1. A heat exchanger equipped with partitioning members for use in a vehicular air conditioning apparatus including a casing having a plurality of passages through which air flows and a damper mechanism for switching a flow state of the air in the passages, the heat exchanger having a plurality of first tubes and second tubes, which are disposed in parallel along a flow direction of the air through the interior of the casing, and wherein the temperature of the air is adjusted by carrying out heat exchange on the air, the heat exchanger comprising: a first heat exchanging section for performing heat exchange on the air which is supplied through a first passage of the casing; and a second heat exchanging section for performing heat exchange on the air which is supplied through a second passage of the casing, wherein a pair of partitioning members that block flow of air between the first heat exchanging section and the second heat exchanging section are disposed at a boundary region between the first heat exchanging section and the second heat exchanging section, wherein air, which is separated in the interior of the heat exchanger by the partitioning members, is blown into a vehicle compartment respectively through the first passage and the second passage, wherein one of the partitioning members is mounted on an upstream side of the heat exchanger and another of the partitioning members is mounted on a downstream side of the heat exchanger, and wherein the partitioning members include sealing portions, which are inserted between the first tubes and the second tubes through which a medium flows through the interior thereof in the heat exchanger, such that when the partitioning members are mounted in the heat exchanger, the sealing portions of one of the partitioning members and the sealing portions of the other of the partitioning members overlap each other in a direction perpendicular to a direction in which the first and second tubes extend, and block gaps between respective adjacent tubes among the first and second tubes.
