Abstract
Disclosed are plate-shaped fins for a heat exchanger having a coated film formed thereon so that waterdrops can easily fall down from the surface of the plate-shaped fins, the coated film being composed of a solution containing a silicone coating film type resin compound and inorganic finely divided particles. Further, the inorganic finely divided particles are used to provide fine irregular portions on the surface of the coated film formed on the plate-shaped fins so that the area where the waterdrops come into contact with the surface of the fins is reduced.
Claims5
A heat exchanger, comprising:
- a plurality of plate-shaped fins disposed in parallel with a predetermined spacing which allows flow therebetween;
- and
- heat transfer tubes extending across plate-shaped fins at right angles,
- wherein a composition comprising a solution containing a silicone resin compound and inorganic finely divided particles having a ratio of 10 to 40 wt % to the solids content in said solution, a large area/weight ratio and a small average particle diameter is coated to said plate-shaped fins.
