ンが溶出しないものを使用する必要がある。2. Description of the Related Art A fuel cell for an automobile, for example, has a polymer membrane type stack in which pure water is circulated for controlling the reaction. Since the temperature of pure water rises in the stack, it is cooled by exchanging heat with an external heat exchanger. This pure water comes into direct contact with the inside of the stack, but if metal ions are contained in the pure water at that time, there is a possibility that the pure water may leak through the liquid and cause a voltage drop in the battery. Therefore, it is necessary to use a heat exchanger that does not elute metal ions.

ある。In a general heat exchanger, a large number of metal tubes are arranged in parallel, both ends of which are connected to a metal tube plate by welding or brazing, and corrugated fins or the like are provided on the outside of each metal tube. It is configured by providing a heat dissipation portion. A heat exchanger using a metal tube as a stainless steel tube is suitable for heat exchange of pure water or the like because metal ions do not elute. However, there is a problem that the heat exchanger made of stainless steel is expensive, has a large weight, and has a low thermal conductivity.

れている。Therefore, as an alternative to the heat exchanger made of stainless steel, a heat exchanger using a tube made of aluminum or aluminum alloy (hereinafter, these are simply referred to as aluminum in the present invention) is used and its liquid side (ie, Technology has been developed to prevent the elution of aluminum ions, which are metal ions, by surface-treating the inner surface of the tube and the end portion that opens into the tank). The surface treatment on the liquid side of the aluminum tube is performed by coating a thermosetting resin such as an epoxy-based resin.
It is described as Japanese Patent Publication No. 01-167782, Japanese Patent No. 3172730 and others.

Occurs,
It was found that it causes pinholes. When a pinhole is generated, aluminum ions are eluted from the pinhole and mixed into pure water, which is not preferable.

処理方法を提供することを目的とする。In order to perform resin coating so that pinholes are not generated on both the inner surface and the end of the tube, a method of applying a resin solution having a relatively low viscosity a plurality of times can be considered. However, this method inevitably increases the thickness of the resin coating layer, which causes another problem that the heat exchange efficiency is reduced. Then, this invention makes it a subject to solve such a problem in the surface treatment of the inner surface side of a heat exchanger by resin coating, and it aims at providing the new surface treatment method for that.
