Abstract
A receiver is joined integrally to a header or a condenser at the flat portions formed at joined surfaces thereof. A flat portion is formed by pressing on a portion (central portion) of a tank plate of a header which has a longer vertical length than a receiver. A rib is formed to extend in the lengthwise direction of the flat portion, and excess material at the time of pressing is absorbed by forming the rib, so that wrinkling does not occur.
