Abstract
A heat exchanger includes a first plate, a second plate and an elastic member. The second plate is disposed on the first plate. A chamber is defined between the first plate and the second plate. The elastic member is disposed between the first plate and the second plate. The second plate has a surrounding portion and a heated surface in the surrounding portion as one piece. A flexible portion is integrally connected between the heated surface and the surrounding portion. The flexible portion surrounds a periphery of the heated surface to hang the heated surface in the surrounding portion. The elastic member is disposed between the heated surface and the first plate as elastic support. The flexible portion can provide the heated surface ability of partial deformation to improve the contact effect between the heated surface and a surface of a heat source to maintain great heat exchange ability.
