Abstract
A heat exchanger includes multiple tubes, multiple fins, and a partition wall. The multiple fins are stacked alternately with the tubes to form a core including a first section and a second section. The partition wall partitions between the first section and the second section. The first section has multiple drain passages in the vicinity of the partition wall.
Claims11
A heat exchanger comprising:
- a plurality of tubes;
- a plurality of fins stacked alternately with the tubes to form a core including a first section and a second section;
- and
- a partition wall partitioning between the first section and the second section, wherein
- the first section has a plurality of drain passages adjacent to the partition wall,
- the drain passages have a width,
- the width is greater than a fin pitch of the fins in a lateral direction of the tubes, wherein the fin pitch is a length between two peaks of the fin in the lateral direction,
- the partition wall includes a first insert inserted between the first section and the second section,
- the first insert is in a comb shape and includes a first base and a plurality of first blades,
- the first blades are extended from the first base, and
- each of the first blades inserted between two adjacent tubes;
- the partition wall further includes a second insert inserted between the first section and the second section,
- the second insert is in a comb shape and includes a second base and a plurality of second blades,
- the second blades are extended from the second base,
- each of the second blades inserted between two tubes, which are adjacent to each other, and
- the first insert and the second insert are opposed to each other.
