An air-conditioner outdoor heat exchanger has a fin, multiple heat transfer pipes thermally connected to the fin, having a flat sectional shape, and configured such that refrigerant flows through header pipes connected to inlet and outlet sides of the heat transfer pipes. The refrigerant flows through the heat transfer pipes in parallel, and when the refrigerant returns from the outlet-side header pipe to the inlet-side header pipe through the heat transfer pipes, the refrigerant returns to the inlet-side header pipe through one of the heat transfer pipes adjacent to another one of the heat transfer pipes through which the refrigerant has flowed when flowing from the inlet-side header pipe to the outlet-side header pipe. At least two systems of refrigerant paths are formed, and the refrigerant flows back and forth in each system between the inlet-side header pipe and the outlet-side header pipe.

Air-conditioner outdoor heat exchanger and air-conditioner including the same

A heat exchanger including multiple fins, multiple heat transfer pipes having an oval shape or a flat shape and joined to the fins, and a header connected, on one end side, to an end portion of an inlet pipe through which working fluid flows in upon evaporation operation and connected, on the other end side, to an end portion of each of the heat transfer pipes, wherein the header includes a longitudinal partition plate arranged to extend in a longitudinal direction and configured to divide an internal space of the header into an inlet-pipe-side space connected to the end portion of the inlet pipe and a heat-transfer-pipe-side space connected to the end portion of each of the heat transfer pipes, and an opening is formed at a position not overlapping with the inlet pipe at the longitudinal partition plate.

Heat exchanger and air-conditioner

Provided is a heat exchanger which includes: multiple heat transfer pipes in which refrigerant flows; and a corrugated fin joined to the heat transfer pipes; and multiple plate-shaped fins. The plate-shaped fins are joined to at least one of each heat transfer pipe or the corrugated fin, and are arranged on a windward side in an air blowing direction with respect to the corrugated fin such that a plate width direction of each plate-shaped fin is substantially coincident with a plate width direction of the corrugated fin.

Heat exchanger, outdoor unit, refrigeration cycle device, and heat exchanger manufacturing method

A heat exchanger is provided which has: multiple flat heat transfer pipes configured such that refrigerant for heat exchange with air flowing inside; and a fin having a heat exchange surface between adjacent ones of the heat transfer pipes, wherein the multiple heat transfer pipes are arranged such that flat portions of the heat transfer pipes face each other, the fin has one end and other end in an air flow direction, and a first rib formed vertically above the flat portion, and the first rib has an extension portion extending along the flat portion, and an enlarged portion configured such that a distance to the flat portion gradually increases from the extension portion in a direction of one end side.
