Abstract

A cold storage heat exchanger includes multiple refrigerant tubes having therein refrigerant passages. The refrigerant tubes are arranged to provide a clearance therebetween. The cold storage heat exchanger further includes a cold storage container that is brazed with the refrigerant tube and defines a compartment receiving a cold storage material. The cold storage container has an open-hole portion at a brazed part with the refrigerant tube. Accordingly, efficiency of heat exchange by the cold storage heat exchanger can be improved.
