Abstract (en)
The upstream side ends of fins (16) along the ventilating direction project out relative to the upstream side ends along the ventilating direction of tubes (14) without being allowed to project out beyond the end faces of tanks (2) and (3) along the ventilating direction so as to set the tubes (14) at positions recessed toward the downstream side along the ventilating direction relative to the fins (16), and the downstream side ends of the fins (16) along the ventilating direction are recessed further toward the upstream side along the ventilating direction relative to the downstream side ends of tubes (15) along the ventilating direction. As a result, the evaporator achieves a lower profile along the ventilating direction and, at the same time, condensed water manifesting at the surfaces of the tubes and fins is drained downward with a high degree of efficiency, thereby minimizing occurrence of spattering of the condensed water onto the downstream side and also, it becomes possible to prevent corrosion from advancing at the tubes due to dirt adhering onto the upstream side of the tubes along the ventilating direction. <IMAGE>
