A heat exchange unit includes metallic heat transfer members combined with
each other. Each heat transfer member has a heat transfer face having
opposite surfaces with which first and second heat exchange fluids come
into contact, respectively. Welded-together flat portions of the heat
transfer members are inserted into a fitting hole of an end plate. The
fitting hole substantially coincides with an end shape of the combined
heat transfer members and is sized to slidably receive welded-together
flat portions such that the end plate and the received, welded-together
flat portions contact each other. After insertion, the heat transfer
members are welded to the end plate along the fitting hole so that, at
the welded region, the heat transfer members and the end plate form an
integral construction.
