A heat exchanger 1 includes at least a plurality of tubes 2 and an upper
tank 4 communicating with an upper end portion of a tube group formed by
the tubes 2 so as to distribute coolant along the up/down direction. The
coolant flows in through an inflow port 9 located at the upper tank 4 in
the heat exchanger 1. An open-top coolant intake guide passage 25 is
disposed at the inflow port 9 and the coolant intake guide passage 25 is
thus inserted at the upper tank 4. With this configuration, coolant
flowing at a very low flow rate has improved distribution, and uniformity
in the output air temperature is achieved, while ensuring that the
structure does not create excessive resistance against the coolant flow
at a high flow rate.
