Abstract (en)

[origin: EP1319907A2] A heat exchanger (1) has a first header pipe (3), second header pipe (2), a plurality df tubes (4), and a plurality of fins (5). The first header pipe (3) and a second header pipe (2) are provided in a row arrangement. The first header pipe (3) has a desiccant member (12). The plurality of tubes (4) are provided in communication with the first header pipe (3) and the second header pipe (2). Both end of each tube (4) is inserted into the first header pipe (3) and the second header pipe (2), respectively. Each of the plurality of fins (5) is disposed between said tubes (4). A centre of cross-sectional area of the first header pipe (3) is offset toward one side of the heat exchanger (1) in an air flow direction, and an entire width of the end of each tube (4) is inserted into the first header pipe (3), such that a clearance is created between the end of each tube (4) and the desiccant member (12). <IMAGE>
