Heat exchanger and air conditioner using the heat exchanger

Abstract

A heat exchanger is provided. The heat exchanger includes a configuration in which a heat transfer tube having a flat shape passes through a plurality of fins, and capable of securing drainage performance of condensed water retained on a surface of the heat transfer tube while improving a heat transfer rate, and further capable of suppressing an increase in ventilation resistance. The heat exchanger includes a heat transfer tube formed in a flat shape, and a plurality of fins, and a refrigerant flowing inside the heat transfer tube exchanges heat with air flowing between the plurality of fins. The fin includes a heat transfer expansion surface including a peak portion and a valley portion provided along an air flow direction, and a drain structure provided to overlap the heat transfer expansion surface.
