Abstract (en)

A heat exchanger having a structure in which micro-channel tubes are respectively fitted into both sides of corresponding flat fins for heat exchange, thereby achieving enhancements in drainage and heat transfer performance. The heat exchanger includes a first header extending vertically and connected with an inflow tube and an outflow tube, a second header spaced apart from the first header by a desired distance and arranged parallel to the first header, and a plurality of flat micro-channel tubes arranged horizontally while being vertically spaced apart from one another by a desired clearance and arranged in a front row and a rear row between the first header and the second header. Micro-channels are formed in each of the micro-channel tubes.
