Patent ID: 8001675

Claim:
An apparatus for manufacturing a heat exchanger, comprising: a first blower capable of directing a first air having a first velocity toward the heat exchanger to blow surplus liquid resin off an outer surface of the heat exchanger; a second blower capable of directing a second air having a second velocity lower than the first velocity toward the heat exchanger to remove the surplus liquid resin from the heat exchanger by moving the surplus liquid resin along the outer surface of the heat exchanger, the second blower being configured to direct the second air toward the heat exchanger before the first blower directs the first air toward the heat exchanger; a receiver disposed under the first and second blowers, the receiver including a bottom wall and a collection port to collect the surplus liquid resin removed from the heat exchanger, the collection port being located under the second blower; and a splash restricting member disposed between the first and second blowers and the receiver, and capable of restricting the surplus liquid resin dropped on the receiver from flying up toward the heat exchanger, the splash restricting member including a plurality of plates that are arranged at intervals and inclined relative to an up and down direction, wherein an angle of inclination of one of the plates that is located under the second blower is greater than an angle of inclination of another one of the plates that is located under the first blower.
