Abstract
A heat exchanger includes a leeward heat exchange unit disposed downstream in an air flow direction, a windward heat exchange unit, and a common header. The leeward heat exchange unit includes a first header, the windward heat exchange unit includes a second header, and, when the leeward heat exchange unit and the windward heat exchange unit each function as a condenser, the leeward heat exchange unit and the windward heat exchange unit include a first region in which refrigerant flowing into the first header flows against the air flow direction and flows into the second header, a second region in which the refrigerant flows parallel to the air flow direction and flows into the first header, and a third region in which the refrigerant flows against the air flow direction and flows into the second header.
