| (54) | Fin and heat exchanger having the same |
| (57) The present invention discloses a fin (1) comprising straight segments (11), and
substantially-circular arc segments (12) connected with the straight segments (11)
in turn along a longitudinal direction such that the substantially-circular arc segments
(12) form wave crests and wave troughs of the fin respectively, the fin (1) is divided
in a lateral direction (C) into a first and second end portions (112,114) and an intermediate
portion (113) therebetween, each substantially-circular arc segment (12) at least
forming the wave troughs in the first end portion is separated from a substantially-circular
arc segment (12) of a corresponding intermediate portion (113) via a longitudinal
slot (111), and a top of each of the substantially-circular arc segments (12) at least
forming the wave troughs in the first end portion (112) is formed with a lateral slot
(110) such that each of the substantially-circular arc segments (12) at least forming
