Abstract
Provided is a heat exchanger, including: a first heat exchange unit, which includes a first flat tube; a second heat exchange unit, which is arranged so as to be opposed to the first heat exchange unit, and includes a second flat tube; and a tank, which connects the first heat exchange unit and the second heat exchange unit to each other. The tank has an upper wall and a lower wall defining an upper end and lower end of a tank space formed in the tank, respectively. One end of the first flat tube and one end of the second flat tube are connected to the tank space. When a height from the lower wall to the upper wall is defined as X, and a height from the lower wall to the one end of the first flat tube is defined as Y, a relation between X and Ysatisfies Y<(½)X.
