A stacking-type, multi-flow, heat exchanger includes a plurality of heat
transfer tubes and fins stacked alternately, and a pair of tanks provided
at either end of the heat transfer tubes. One of the tanks has an inlet
tank portion and an outlet tank portion for the introduction and the
discharge of a heat exchange medium to the heat exchanger. The heat
exchanger has a flange member connected to the one of the tanks, the
flange member has a flange body, an inlet pipe communicating with the
inlet tank portion and an outlet pipe communicating with the outlet tank
portion, and at least one of the inlet and outlet pipes is formed
separately from the flange body. A passage for introducing heat exchange
medium from the inlet pipe to the inlet tank portion and a passage for
discharging heat exchange medium from the outlet tank portion to the
outlet pipe are arranged in a thickness direction of the heat exchanger
in parallel to each other. In this structure, the heat exchanger may be
made to be thinner, smaller, and lighter than known heat exchangers.
