Abstract (en)

[origin: EP3736521A1] The present disclosure relates to a heat exchange tube, a heat exchanger and a heat pump unit. The heat exchange tube includes a tube body and a fin arranged on an outer surface of the tube body, wherein the fin includes: a fin root part, arranged on the outer surface of the tube body; a transverse fin part, arranged on the top of the fin root part and extending laterally from two sides of the fin root part; and a fin top part, arranged on the top of the transverse fin part and constructed as a saw-toothed part, a concave portion of the saw-toothed part extending to the transverse fin part. The present disclosure is beneficial to enlarging a heat exchange area of the fin top part and thinning a liquid film; the saw-toothed fin top part is favorable for refrigerant flowing, thereby enhancing condensation property; and the transverse fin part extends laterally from the two sides of the fin to form a lower layer of channel and an upper layer of channel beneficial to evaporation and condensation, such that the heat exchange tube has both evaporation and condensation properties.
