Abstract
Provided is a heat exchanger, which includes a plurality of tubes and a plurality of fins. The tubes accommodate respective refrigerant passages through which refrigerant flows. The fins having a plate shape are spaced apart from each other, and include a plurality of through holes through which the tubes pass, respectively. The fin is provided with a condensate water guide part guiding discharge of condensate water generated during heat exchange between air and the refrigerant flowing through the tube. Accordingly, adhesion of the tube and the fin is facilitated, the distance between neighboring fins is maintained, and condensate water is efficiently discharged.
Claims19
A heat exchanger comprising:
- a plurality of tubes accommodating respective refrigerant passages through which refrigerant flows;
- and
- a plurality of fins having a plate shape, spaced apart from each other, and including:
- a plurality of through holes through which the tubes pass, respectively,
- wherein the fin is provided with a condensate water guide part guiding discharge of condensate water generated during heat exchange between air and the refrigerant flowing through the tube,
- wherein at least one portion of the fin is provided with ribs to increase an adhering area between the fin and the tube.
A heat exchanger comprising:
- a plurality of tubes accommodating respective refrigerant passages through which refrigerant flows;
- and
- a plurality of fins having a plate shape, spaced apart from each other, and including a plurality of through holes through which the tubes pass, respectively, each of the fins including a first slope, a second slope, and a plurality of louvers,
- wherein the first slope is provided in two, which are inclined upward in a width direction of the fin from a surface of the fin, at both side ends of the fin;
- the second slope is provided in two, which are inclined downward in the width direction of the fin, at respective ends of the first slopes, and having respective ends connected to each other;
- and
- the louvers are provided on the second slopes.
