Patent ID: 7051795

Claim:
A multi-function heat exchanger, comprising: a first core section having a plurality of first heat exchanging tubes and first fins being mounted between the first heat exchanging tubes; a second core section having a plurality of second heat exchanging tubes and second fins being mounted between the second heat exchanging tubes; a connecting member connecting the first core section and the second core section with each other; a first header pipe being connected to first ends of the first heat exchanging tubes and first ends of the second heat exchanging tubes, the first header pipe having panel walls to divide a space therein; a second header pipe being connected to second ends of the first heat exchanging tubes and second ends of the second heat exchanging tubes and; a notch formed between the panel walls of the first header pipe, wherein a portion of the notch is cut off in a radial direction of the first header pipe, wherein a first heat exchanger section includes a flow passage through the first header pipe, the first heat exchanging tubes, and the second header pipe; and wherein a second heat exchanger section includes a flow passage through the first header pipe, the second heat exchanging tube, and the second header pipe, and the flow passage of the second heat exchanger section is separated from the flow passage of the first heat exchanger section.
