Abstract (en)

A heat exchanger (30) includes flat tubes (33) and fins (36). The plate-like fins (36) are spaced from one another by a predetermined distance in the direction in which the flat tubes (33) extend. The flat tubes (33) are inserted in pipe insertion portions (46) of the fins (36). In the fins (36), parts of the fins (36) between vertically adjacent ones of the flat tubes (33) are heat transfer parts (70). Each of the heat transfer parts (70) includes protrusions (81-83) and louvers (50, 60). The protrusions (81-83) are located at a windward region of the heat transfer part (70) and formed by making the heat transfer part (70) protrude in an inverted V shape. The louvers (50, 60) are located in a leeward region of the heat transfer part (70) and bend out from the heat transfer part (70).
