Embodiment Construction

[0066] Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. In the following description, the upper part, the lower part, the left-hand side and the right-hand side of FIG. 1 will be referred to as "upper", "lower", "left" and "right", respectively. In the drawings, the same parts will be indicated by the same reference numerals.

[0067] Fig. 1 shows a flat tube, Fig. 2 is a partial view of the flat tube, Fig. 3 shows steps of a method of manufacturing the flat tube using a plate-shaped body, and Fig. 4 is a partial view of Fig. 3(c).

[0068] Referring to FIG. 1, a flat tube 1 is made of aluminum and includes upper and lower flat walls 2, 3 (a pair of flat walls) opposed to each other so that the upper and lower flat walls 2, 3 are interconnected at their left and right opposite sides. The left and right opposite side walls 4, 5, and a plurality of reinforcing walls 6 interconnecting the upper and lower flat walls 2, 3, the reinforcin...

Abstract

A flat tube making platelike body 15 is in the form of a single metal plate in its entirety and comprises two flat wall forming portions 17, 18 having the same width, a connecting portion 16 for interconnecting these portions 17, 18, side wall forming portions 9, 10 projecting from the respective flat wall forming portions 17, 18 and each formed integrally with one side edge of the flat wall forming portion opposite to the connecting portion 16, and first and second reinforcing wall forming portions 11, 12 integrally formed on each of the flat wall forming portions 9, 10. The first reinforcing wall forming portions 11 are butted against the respective second reinforcing wall forming portions 12 in pairs when the metal plate is folded into a hairpin form at the connecting portion 16. The first reinforcing wall forming portions 11 are given a smaller thickness than the second reinforcing wall forming portions 12 on the other flat wall forming portion 18 butted against the respective portions 11. The platelike body 15 gives an enhanced brazing joint strength to the reinforcing wall forming portions in fabricating a flat tube, and improved pressure resistance to the flat tube to be fabricated.
