Abstract (en)

[origin: EP4130634A1] A heat exchanger includes a plurality of fins being spaced apart from one another in a first direction and a plurality of heat transfer tubes penetrating through the plurality of fins. The plurality of heat transfer tubes are spaced apart from one another in a second direction crossing the first direction. Each of the plurality of fins includes a fin base surface being flat and a fin projection provided between two adjacent heat transfer tubes of the plurality of heat transfer tubes. The fin projection projects from the fin base surface in the first direction. The fin projection includes a main part and an uprise portion surrounding the main part and connecting between the main part and the fin base surface. A relationship between angle θa and angle θb, θa>θb is established where θa is an angle of the uprise portion against the fin base surface, and θb is an angle of the main part against the fin base surface.
