Abstract (en)

To suppress projecting sections of heat transfer fins from buckling in a heat exchanger bending method that performs bending by pressing a flat panel-like heat exchanger, in which heat transfer fins and heat transfer tubes are arranged with parts of the heat transfer fins projecting in a direction orthogonal to a lengthwise direction of the heat transfer tubes, against a bending die in such a way as to wrap the heat exchanger around the bending die. An outdoor heat exchanger (7) bending method employs, as a bending die (55), a bending die having a curved surface (58) whose bend radius changes in such a way as to become smaller from a starting point to an end point of the bending of the outdoor heat exchanger (7). The curved surface (58) has a first curved surface (61), which is positioned near the starting point and has a bend radius that is large, and a main curved surface (62), which is positioned near the end point and has a bend radius that is smaller than that of the first curved surface (61). At the time of the start of the bending, this bending method performs a first step of pressing projecting sections of the heat transfer fins (21) against the first curved surface (61), and after the first step, the bending method performs a main step of pressing the projecting sections of the heat transfer fins (21) against the main curved surface (62).
