A heat exchanger used in a screw air compressor has a low temperature
chamber through which low temperature fluid flows and a high temperature
chamber through which high temperature fluid flows. The low temperature
chamber and the high temperature chamber are separated by a partition
plate. The high temperature chambers and the low temperature chambers are
alternately arranged in layers, so that the low temperature chambers are
disposed at both ends in a layered direction. Additionally, the flowing
direction of the low temperature fluid in the low temperature chambers
and the flowing direction of the high temperature fluid in the high
temperature chambers are substantially orthogonal to each other.
