Abstract
In a seal structure for a heat exchanger, the seal structure being mounted on a baffle plate disposed in a shell included in the heat exchanger and being partially in contact with a wall surface on an inner surface side of the shell, the seal plate is composed of a plurality of thin plates which are laminated; the thin plates are in contact with the wall surface while being curved by an elastic deformation; a contact thin plate serving as one of the thin plates located on an outermost side of the curve is in contact with the wall surface; and an outer surface of the contact thin plate serving as a surface on an outside of the curve among surfaces arranged in a thickness direction of the contact thin plate is in contact with the wall surface so as to restrain seal performance from deteriorating.
