Abstract

The present invention relates to an integral heat exchanger including: a first heat exchange portion for performing the heat exchange of a first heat exchange medium with external air; a second heat exchange portion separated from the first heat exchange portion and performing the heat exchange of a second heat exchange medium with the first heat exchange medium; and a third heat exchange portion for introducing the second heat exchange medium passing through the second heat exchange portion and to perform the heat exchange of the introduced second heat exchange medium with external air, wherein the first to third heat exchange portions are formed in one body integrally to each other.

         26 . The integral heat exchanger according to  claim 25 , wherein the first heat exchange medium is cooling water and the second heat exchange medium is charge air. 
     
     
         27 . An integral heat exchanger comprising:
 a first header tank and a second header tank disposed in parallel and spaced apart from each other by a distance;   a first partition member disposed transverse to a longitudinal direction of the first header tank, the first partition member partitioning an inner space of the first header tank into a first space portion and a second space portion;   a second partition member disposed transverse to a longitudinal direction of the second header tank, the second partition member partitioning an inner space of the second header tank into a third space portion and a fourth space portion;   a plurality of first tubes connecting the first space portion of the first header tank and the third space portion of the second header tank to form a plurality of first heat exchange medium passages;   a heat exchange member disposed in the third space portion of the second header tank in the longitudinal direction of the second header tank to form a space though which the second heat exchange medium flows to the fourth space portion;   a plurality of second tubes connecting the second space portion of the first header tank and the fourth space portion of the second header tank to form a plurality of second heat exchange medium passages; and   a plurality of fins disposed between each of the first tubes and between each of the second tubes.   
     
     
         28 . The integral heat exchanger according to  claim 27 , further comprising:
 a first inlet portion formed on one of the first space portion of the first header tank and the third space portion of the second header tank to introduce the first heat exchange medium to the integral heat exchanger;   a first outlet portion formed on one of the first space portion of the first header tank and the third space portion of the second header tank to discharge the first heat exchange medium from the integral heat exchanger;   a second inlet portion formed on the third space portion of the second header tank to introduce the second heat exchange medium to the heat exchange member; and   a second outlet portion formed on the second space portion of the first header tank to discharge the second heat exchange medium from the integral heat exchanger.   
     
     
         29 . The integral heat exchanger according to  claim 28 , wherein the heat exchange member has a shape of a longitudinally elongated pipe. 
     
     
         30 . The integral heat exchanger according to  claim 29 , wherein the heat exchange member includes at least two pipes. 
     
     
         31 . The integral heat exchanger according to  claim 30 , wherein the heat exchange member comprises a plurality of first pipes having a first sectional shape and a plurality of second pipes having a second sectional shape. 
     
     
         32 . The integral heat exchanger according to  claim 31 , wherein an internal cross-sectional area of each of the second pipes is smaller than an internal cross-sectional area of each of the first pipes. 
     
     
         33 . The integral heat exchanger according to  claim 32 , wherein each of the second pipes has a first concave portion formed inwardly with respect to a peripheral surface of the second pipes, the concave portion extending along a longitudinal direction of each of the second pipes. 
     
     
         34 . The integral heat exchanger according to  claim 29 , wherein the heat exchange member has a spiral protrusion formed along a peripheral surface of the heat exchange member.
