Abstract

The present invention relates to a radiator which can facilely detect an erroneous assembly of a gasket interposed between a radiator header and a tank. The radiator, comprises inlet and outlet headers 10 in which a plurality of tube inserting holes 11 are parallely formed at predetermined intervals; inlet and outlet tanks 20 which are disposed to be apart from each other so as to respectively form a flowing path for supplying or discharging cooling water; a plurality of tubes 30 which are inserted into the tube inserting holes 11 so as to communicate with the tank 20 and exchange heat through cooling water flowing therein; a fin 40 which is interposed between the tubes 30 so as to widen heat transfer area; a U-shaped recessed part 12 which is formed around the entire header 10 and which is placed sealing member interposed between the header 10 and the tank so as to seal therebetween; and a plurality of notches 22 which are formed at an inside of the foot 21 of the tank 20 inserted into the recessed part 12 to be apart at predetermined intervals so that fluid is leaked through the notch 22 when the sealing member 50 is erroneously positioned at a place corresponding to the connection part 13 from the recessed part 12 to the tube inserting hole 11, thereby detecting an erroneous assembled status.
