A circular refrigerant outlet is formed in an endmost flat, hollow member
of a laminated heat exchanger. An outlet header is fixed to the endmost
flat, hollow member, and an outlet pipe having a circular cross section
is connected to an open end of the outlet header. The inside diameter of
the refrigerant outlet is 90% to 110% that of the outlet pipe. The outlet
header has a first portion having a refrigerant passage hole
communicating with the refrigerant outlet. The first portion has a
vertical, flat wall portion and two fragmentary, cylindrical wall
portions continuous with respective upper and lower edges of the flat
wall portion. The curvature radius of the inner surface of the
fragmentary, cylindrical wall portion is 35% to 50% the inside height of
the first portion. The equivalent inside diameter of the first portion is
90% to 110% the inside diameter of the outlet pipe.
