Abstract
A heat exchanger includes parallel vertical fins through which horizontal heat exchanger tubes project. Each fin possesses groups of louver patterns, each group arranged between two vertically adjacent tubes. Each group of louver patterns is formed by first, second, third and fourth louver patterns arranged generally radially with respect to an adjacent tube. The louver patterns provide slits in the fin through which air can flow. The orientation of the louver patterns is such that a minimum vertical distance between vertically adjacent ones of the groups is shorter than an outer radius of a respective tube.
