DRAINAGE STRUCTURE OF CORRUGATED FIN-TYPE HEAT EXCHANGER

摘要

To achieve a sufficient drainage of condensed water (dewwater) adhering to a surface to suppress an adverse effect on an airflow resistance and a heat exchange efficiency, even in a case where heat exchange tubes are arranged horizontally, provided is a drain structure for a corrugated fin-type heat exchanger (1), the corrugated fin-type heat exchanger (1) being constituted by arranging a plurality of flat heat exchange tubes (3) parallel to one another in a horizontal direction between a pair of opposing header pipes (2a, 2b), and joining corrugated fins (4) between the plurality of flat heat exchange tubes (3), the drain structure including a plurality of water flow passages (10) for inducing water retained between the corrugated fins (4) adjacent to an upper side and a lower side of each of the plurality of flat heat exchange tubes (3), the plurality of water flow passages (10) being formed on an outer end surface of the each of the plurality of flat heat exchange tubes (3) in a width direction thereof at a pitch along a longitudinal direction of the each of the plurality of flat heat exchange tubes (3).
