Abstract
The heat exchanger may include a pipe unit mounted on a refrigerant line connecting a compressor with an evaporator of an air conditioning and adapted to flow a refrigerant and a LPG fuel returned from the engine, a first connecting member mounted at an end of the pipe unit to connect the pipe unit with the refrigerant line where the refrigerant line is connected to the compressor, and a second connecting member mounted at the other end of the pipe unit to connect the pipe unit with the refrigerant line where the refrigerant line is connected to the evaporator. The heat exchanger is configured so that the high-temperature LPG fuel is capable of exchanging heat with the refrigerant.
