Abstract (en)
[origin: EP3546878A1] The invention relates to a heat exchanger (1), comprising a plurality of flat tubes (2) arranged in a first row in a main extension plane of the heat exchanger (1), the flat tubes (2) having a respective main extension plane and being configured to conduct a heat transfer medium, a plurality of plate fins (3) arranged in a second row in the main extension plane of the heat exchanger (1), where the second row extends in a direction transverse to the direction of the first row, and a plurality of guiding structures (4) for guiding condensed water (8) off the tubes (2), where each guiding structure (4) extends between two plate fins (3) along a corresponding tube (2), wherein each guiding structure (4) comprises at least a first guiding plate (5) with a first main extension plane and a second guiding plate (6) with a second main extension plane, where the first main extension plane is tilted with respect to the main extension plane of the flat tube (2) around a longitudinal axis of the flat tube (2) by a first tilt angle a1, and the second main extension plane is tilted with respect to the main extension plane of the flat tube (2) around the longitudinal axis of the flat tube (2) by a second tilt angle a2, with 0 degrees < al < a2 < 90 degrees, in order to provide a heat exchanger (1) with improved performance, in particular less problems with condensed water (8).
