Abstract

See full text

A corrugated-fin heat exchanger is constructed by arranging a plurality of flat heat exchange tubes parallel to each other in a horizontal direction between a pair of opposing header pipes, joining, at a position between the plurality of flat heat exchange tubes, corrugated fins formed by alternately repeating peak folding and valley folding portions, and forming water flow passages from lug pieces that are obtained by obliquely cutting and raising flange portions extending along end portions of each of the plurality of flat heat exchange tubes (3) in a width direction thereof. A pitch (P) of each of the corrugated fins between a peak and a valley thereof, a width (L) of each of the lug pieces in a vertical direction thereof, and a thickness (T) of the each of the plurality of flat heat exchange tubes have a relationship of P×2≧L≧T.
