A piping structure of an air conditioner causes a looped main piping connected to a compressor of an outdoor unit of the air conditioner to be branched into two or more branch pipings within a predetermined interval of the main piping and cause the branch pipings to be jointed at an arbitrary location. According to the piping structure, it is possible to reduce a vibration by an interference phenomenon, which is generated when either a refrigerant pulsation or a periodic vibration of the compressor is divided and then combined.

Piping structure for air conditioner

A heat exchanger including first and second header tanks for receiving and discharging refrigerant. Further, the first and second header tanks are spaced apart from each other by a predetermined distance. Also include is a plurality of flat tubes each having opposite ends respectively connected to the first and second header tanks, in which each of the flat tubes has channels through which the refrigerant scatters and flows, and the channels have a different capacity from each other. Further included is a cooling member for discharging heat of the refrigerant flowing along the flat tubes.
