Abstract:
A heat exchanger is provided which is capable of rapidly moving condensed water downward. The heat exchanger may include a plurality of flat tubes forming a plurality of flow paths therein; and a fin located between the plurality of flat tubes to conduct heat. The fin may include at least one first fin portion located between the plurality of flat tubes; at least one first bent portion bent at the first fin portion so as to come into contact with a first one of the plurality of flat tubes; at least one second fin portion bent at the first bent portion, the second fin portion being opposite to the first fin portion and being located between the plurality of flat tubes; a flow space defined between the first fin portion and the second fin portion; at least one second bent portion bent at the second fin portion so as to come into contact with a second one of the plurality of flat tubes; at least one condensed water discharge hole formed by cutting at least one of the first bent portion or the second bent portion; and at least one condensed water discharge fin bent at the at least one of the first bent portion or the second bent portion.
Abstract:
A heat exchanger for a refrigerator, which is of a microchannel type, includes a first heat exchange unit including a plurality of flat tubes, which serves to exchange heat between refrigerant and are connected to an introduction pipe, a second heat exchange unit including a plurality of flat tubes, which serve to exchange heat between the refrigerant and air and are disposed outside the first heat exchange unit so as to be connected to a discharge tube, and a connecting pipe connecting the first heat exchange unit to the second heat exchange unit to supply the refrigerant to the second heat exchange unit, wherein the first heat exchange unit is disposed so as to exchange heat with air, and wherein a total cross-sectional area of the flat tubes of the first heat exchange unit is larger than that of the flat tubes of the second heat exchange unit.
Abstract:
Provided is an outdoor unit of an air conditioner, including: an outdoor heat exchanger that has a height longer than a width; and an outdoor blowing fan that is disposed above the outdoor heat exchanger and blows air upward from below the outdoor heat exchanger, in which the outdoor heat exchanger includes: a plurality of radiating fins that contacts air; a gap that is formed between the radiating fins; a louver fin that is cut in the radiating fin and then bent; and a cut-out area that is formed in the radiating fin and formed at a position where the louver fin is cut, the radiating fin includes: a first zone that is disposed above the outdoor heat exchanger and disposed close to the outdoor blowing fan; and a second zone that is located below the first zone, and an area LA1 of the louver fin in the first zone is formed to be larger than an area LA2 of the louver fin in the second zone. The present disclosure has the advantage of uniformly forming air volumes in each zone of the heat exchanger in the vertical height direction by making the areas of the louver fins arranged in each zone different, even when the outdoor blowing fan is disposed to be biased upward.
