Abstract

There is provided a radiator which includes a tank including first and second chambers that are separated from each other, the first and second chambers including first and second openings, respectively, a first tube including first and second ends, the first and second ends communicating with the first and second chambers, respectively, and a second tube being next to the first tube, the second tube including first and second ends communicating with the first and second chambers, respectively, wherein the first chamber includes first and second flow channels that communicate with the first opening, the first and second channels being split so as to sandwich at least part of the second chamber, and the first ends of the first and second tubes sandwich the second ends of the first and second tubes.

Claims (49)

1. A radiator comprising:

a tank including first and second chambers that are separated from each other, the first and second chambers including first and second openings, respectively;

a first tube including first and second ends, the first and second ends communicating with the first and second chambers, respectively; and

a second tube being next to the first tube, the second tube including first and second ends communicating with the first and second chambers, respectively,

wherein the first chamber includes first and second flow channels that communicate with the first opening, the first and second flow channels being split so as to sandwich at least part of the second chamber, and

the first ends of the first and second tubes sandwich the second ends of the first and second tubes.

2. The radiator according to claim 1 ,

wherein the second chamber includes third and fourth flow channels that communicate with the second opening, the third and fourth flow channels being split so as to sandwich the first flow channel, and

the second end of each of the first and second tubes communicates with the third flow channel in the second chamber, and

the radiator further includes a third tube that includes a first end communicating with the first flow channel in the first chamber and a second end communicating with the fourth flow channel in the second chamber.

3. The radiator according to claim 2 ,

wherein the second chamber includes a fifth flow channel that communicates with the second opening, the second opening being split from the third and fourth flow channels such that the third and fifth flow channels sandwich the second flow channel,

the radiator further includes a fourth tube that includes a first end communicating with the second flow channel in the first chamber and a second end communicating with the fifth flow channel in the second chamber.

4. The radiator according to claim 1 ,

wherein the first and second flow channels and the at least part of the second chamber are arranged in a direction perpendicular to a direction in which the first and second tubes extend from the tank.

5. The radiator according to claim 2 ,

6. The radiator according to claim 3 ,

7. The radiator according to claim 1 ,

wherein the first tube includes a first-side first tube connected to a first side surface of the tank and a second-side second tube connected to a second side surface of the tank, the second side surface being opposed to the first side surface.

8. The radiator according to claim 2 ,

9. The radiator according to claim 3 ,
