Abstract:
A heat exchanger ( 3 ) having a temperature sensor ( 16 ) detecting a temperature of a water passage ( 300 ) including heat-transfer pipes ( 32 ), ( 33 ), a connecting portion ( 34 ), an inlet pipe ( 11 ), and an outlet pipe ( 12 ), and a sensor bracket ( 6 ), wherein the sensor bracket ( 6 ) is joined and fixed to the connecting portion ( 34 ) in a state in which at least a part of a base portion ( 60 ) of the sensor bracket ( 6 ) forming a mounting surface of the temperature sensor ( 16 ) is in surface contact with a planar portion ( 340 ) provided in the connecting portion ( 34 ), and the temperature sensor ( 16 ) is secured to a joint portion ( 600 ) of the base portion ( 60 ) joined and fixed to the planar portion ( 340 ).

Claim (Index 1):
A heat exchanger comprising:\n a case body; a plurality of heat-transfer pipes disposed in the case body; a connecting portion configured to connect pipe ends of the plurality of heat-transfer pipes outside a side wall of the case body; an inlet pipe configured to supply a fluid to be heated into the heat-transfer pipes; an outlet pipe configured to lead out the fluid to be heated from the heat-transfer pipes; a temperature sensor configured to detect a temperature of a water passage formed of the heat-transfer pipes, the connecting portion, the inlet pipe, and the outlet pipe; and a sensor bracket configured to fix the temperature sensor, wherein the sensor bracket is joined and fixed to the connecting portion, at least a part of a base portion of the sensor bracket forming a mounting surface of the temperature sensor is in surface contact with a planar portion provided in the connecting portion, and the temperature sensor is secured to a joint portion of the base portion joined and fixed to the connecting portion.
