Abstract (en)

A refrigerant tube (T1) for use in heat exchangers comprises a flat tube (7) having parallel refrigerant passages (6) in its interior and comprising upper (1) and lower (2) walls and a plurality of reinforcing walls (5) connected between the upper and lower walls, the reinforcing walls extending longitudinally of the tube and spaced apart from one another by a predetermined distance. The reinforcing walls are each formed with a plurality of communication holes (8) for causing the parallel refrigerant passages to communicate with one another therethrough. Each of the reinforcing walls is 10 to 40% in opening ratio which is the proportion of all the communication holes in the reinforcing wall to the reinforcing wall. <IMAGE>
