Abstract

See full text

A heat exchanger (1) is provided with header pipes (2, 3), a plurality of flat tubes (4) disposed between the header pipes, and corrugated fins (6) disposed between the flat tubes (4). The end of the corrugated fin at the surface on the side, on which condensed water gathers, of the heat exchanger protrudes from an end of the flat tube (4), and a linear water-conducting member (10) is inserted between a gap (G) formed between the protruding portions of the corrugated fins. The interval between the water-conducting member and the protruding end of the corrugated fin located thereon is a distance at which the surface tension of water can act therebetween. A V-shaped cut (6a or 6b) is formed at the edge of the protruding end of the corrugated fin.
