    Abstract: A heat exchanger configured to cause a refrigerant to exchange heat with a heat medium, includes: plates stacked on top of one another. A first flow path and a second flow path are formed between the plates. The refrigerant in a two phase state flows through the first flow path and the heat medium flows through the second flow path. Each of the plates includes: a first inlet from which the refrigerant flows into the first flow path; and a first outlet from which the refrigerant flows out of the first flow path. In each of the plates, when viewed in a direction in which the plates are stacked, the first inlet has line symmetry with respect to a center line in a width direction of the each of the plates, and the first outlet has line symmetry with respect to the center line.

    Abstract: A heat exchanger includes: a fin group including plate-shaped fins; heat transfer tubes penetrating the plate-shaped fins; and a support plate at an end of the fin group. The heat transfer tubes penetrate the support plate. The heat exchanger is configured to cause a heat medium flowing through the heat transfer tubes to exchange heat with air. End portions of the heat transfer tubes form protrusions protruding from the support plate. The protrusions include: a first protrusion connected to one of the protrusions adjacent to the first protrusion; and a second protrusion connected to a flow path pipe different from one of the protrusions adjacent to the second protrusion. A distance from a tip end of the second protrusion to the support plate is shorter than a distance from a tip end of the first protrusion to the support plate.

    Abstract: A connection pipe of a heat exchange unit includes a second refrigerant pipe made of a second metal higher in potential than a first metal of a first refrigerant pipe. The second refrigerant pipe includes a first section that is bent to protrude upward. The first section includes a first curved section disposed on a first refrigerant pipe side relative to an apex of the first section and a second curved section disposed on a side opposite to the first refrigerant pipe side relative to the apex of the first section. A covering member or a coating film is provided in intimate contact with the second refrigerant pipe to cover a first refrigerant pipe side edge of the second refrigerant pipe and the first curved section.

    Abstract: An indoor unit includes a heat exchanger and a connection pipe, connected to the heat exchanger, through which a refrigerant flows. The connection pipe includes a first refrigerant pipe made of a first metal and a second refrigerant pipe made of a second metal higher in potential than the first metal. One end of the first refrigerant pipe is connected to the heat exchanger, and the other end of the first refrigerant pipe is connected to one end of the second refrigerant pipe. The first refrigerant pipe includes a vertical straight section, a bent section that is continuous with to a one end of the vertical straight section, and a horizontal straight section that is continuous with one end of the bent section. A covering member adheres to and covers the first refrigerant pipe from one end of the horizontal straight section to the bent section.
