Embodiment 1
Fig. 1 is a schematic configuration diagram illustrating a refrigeration cycle apparatus according to embodiment 1. In embodiment 1, a refrigeration cycle apparatus is used as the air conditioner 1. The air conditioner 1 has a compressor 2, an outdoor heat exchanger 3, an expansion valve 4, an indoor heat exchanger 5, and a four-way valve 6. In this example, the compressor 2, the outdoor heat exchanger 3, the expansion valve 4, and the four-way valve 6 are provided in an outdoor unit, and the indoor heat exchanger 5 is provided in an indoor unit.
The compressor 2, the outdoor heat exchanger 3, the expansion valve 4, the indoor heat exchanger 5, and the four-way valve 6 are connected to each other via refrigerant pipes, thereby constituting a refrigerant circuit capable of circulating a refrigerant. In the air conditioner 1, the compressor 2 is operated, and thereby a refrigeration cycle is performed in which the refrigerant circulates through the compressor 2, the outdoor heat exchanger 3, the expansion valve 4, and the indoor heat exchanger 5 while undergoing a phase change.
The outdoor unit is provided with an outdoor fan 7 for forcibly passing the outdoor air through the outdoor heat exchanger 3. The outdoor heat exchanger 3 exchanges heat between the flow of outdoor air generated by the operation of the outdoor fan 7 and the refrigerant. The indoor unit is provided with an indoor fan 8 for forcibly passing indoor air through the indoor heat exchanger 5. The indoor heat exchanger 5 exchanges heat between the flow of indoor air generated by the operation of the indoor fan 8 and the refrigerant.
The operation of the air conditioner 1 can be switched between the cooling operation and the heating operation. The four-way valve 6 is a solenoid valve that switches the refrigerant flow path according to switching between the cooling operation and the heating operation of the air conditioner 1. The four-way valve 6 guides the refrigerant from the compressor 2 to the outdoor heat exchanger 3 and guides the refrigerant from the indoor heat exchanger 5 to the compressor 2 during the cooling operation, guides the refrigerant from the compressor 2 to the indoor heat exchanger 5 and guides the refrigerant from the outdoor heat exchanger 3 to the compressor 2 during the heating operation. In fig. 1, the direction of the flow of the refrigerant during the cooling operation is shown by the arrow of the broken line, and the direction of the flow of the refrigerant during the heating operation is shown by the arrow of the solid line.
During cooling operation of the air conditioner 1, the refrigerant compressed by the compressor 2 is sent to the outdoor heat exchanger 3. In the outdoor heat exchanger 3, the refrigerant releases heat to the outdoor air to be condensed. The refrigerant is sent to the expansion valve 4, depressurized by the expansion valve 4, and then sent to the indoor heat exchanger 5. Then, the refrigerant is evaporated by taking heat from the indoor air in the indoor heat exchanger 5, and is returned to the compressor 2. Therefore, during the cooling operation of the air conditioner 1, the outdoor heat exchanger 3 functions as a condenser and the indoor heat exchanger 5 functions as an evaporator.
During the heating operation of the air conditioner 1, the refrigerant compressed by the compressor 2 is sent to the indoor heat exchanger 5. In the indoor heat exchanger 5, the refrigerant releases heat to the indoor air to be condensed. The refrigerant is sent to the expansion valve 4, depressurized by the expansion valve 4, and then sent to the outdoor heat exchanger 3. Then, the refrigerant is evaporated by taking heat from the outdoor air in the outdoor heat exchanger 3, and is returned to the compressor 2. Therefore, during the heating operation of the air conditioner 1, the outdoor heat exchanger 3 functions as an evaporator, and the indoor heat exchanger 5 functions as a condenser.
Fig. 2 is a perspective view illustrating the outdoor heat exchanger 3 of fig. 1. The outdoor heat exchanger 3 has a heat exchanger 11 through which an air flow a generated by the operation of the outdoor fan 7 passes. The heat exchanger 11 has a 1 st header tank 12, a2 nd header tank 13, and a plurality of heat exchange members 14 connected between the 1 st header tank 12 and the 2 nd header tank 13. In the heat exchanger 11, one of the refrigerant pipe from the expansion valve 4 and the refrigerant pipe from the four-way valve 6 is connected to the 1 st header tank 12, and the other is connected to the 2 nd header tank 13.
The 1 st header tank 12 and the 2 nd header tank 13 are respectively horizontally arranged. The 2 nd header tank 13 is disposed above the 1 st header tank 12. The 1 st header tank 12 and the 2 nd header tank 13 are arranged parallel to each other along the z direction of fig. 2 as the 3 rd direction.
In fig. 2, the 1 st header tank 12 and the 2 nd header tank 13 are rectangular parallelepiped in shape, but the shape is not limited. The outer shape of the 1 st header tank 12 and the 2 nd header tank 13 may be, for example, a cylinder, an elliptic cylinder, or the like, and the cross-sectional shape may be appropriately changed. The 1 st header tank 12 and the 2 nd header tank 13 may be constructed by stacking, for example, a tubular body having both ends closed, a plate-like body having a slit 21 formed therein, or the like. The 1 st header tank 12 and the 2 nd header tank 13 are each formed with a refrigerant flow port through which a refrigerant flows out and in.
The plurality of heat exchange members 14 are arranged at intervals in the longitudinal direction of each of the 1 st header tank 12 and the 2 nd header tank 13, that is, in the z-direction of fig. 2. Further, the plurality of heat exchange members 14 are arranged in parallel with each other. The longitudinal direction of the plurality of heat exchange members 14 is the y-direction intersecting the z-direction of fig. 2 as the 2 nd direction. In the present embodiment, the y direction is the up-down direction. In this example, the longitudinal direction of each heat exchange member 14 is perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of each of the 1 st header tank 12 and the 2 nd header tank 13. Further, in this example, the space arrangement members between the plurality of heat exchange members 14 are prohibited. In this way, in this example, the connection members are prevented from being connected to the surfaces of the heat exchange members 14 adjacent to each other that face each other.
The air flow a generated by the operation of the outdoor fan 7 passes between the plurality of heat exchange members 14. In this example, the air flow a passes between the plurality of heat exchange members 14 in a direction intersecting the longitudinal direction of each of the 1 st header tank 12, the 2 nd header tank 13, and the heat exchange members 14, that is, in the x direction, which is the 1 st direction, in fig. 2. In the example of fig. 2, the x-direction is perpendicular to the y-direction, which is the longitudinal direction of the heat exchange member 14.
Fig. 3 is a diagram showing the heat exchange member 14 of the heat exchanger 11 according to embodiment 1. Fig. 3 is a view of the heat exchange member 14 shown in fig. 2 viewed in the z direction. In fig. 3, white arrows show the direction of gas flow. Fig. 3 shows 1 heat exchange member 14 as an example among the plurality of heat exchange members 14 shown in fig. 2.
The heat exchange member 14 has heat transfer pipes 15 and fins 16.

Further, as shown in fig. 3, the heat transfer pipe 15 extends in the y-direction, connecting the 1 st header tank 12 and the 2 nd header tank 13. The heat transfer pipe 15 extends in the y direction, i.e., in the up-down direction, and the refrigerant flowing into the heat transfer pipe 15 from the 1 st header tank 12 or the 2 nd header tank 13 flows in the up-down direction in the heat transfer pipe 15.
As shown in fig. 3, the fins 16 have faces along the x-direction and the y-direction. The fins 16 are provided on the heat transfer pipe 15 so that the longitudinal direction thereof extends along the y-direction. The fin 16 has a1 st extension 16_1 and a 2 nd extension 16_2.
The 1 st extension portion 16_1 and the 2 nd extension portion 16_2 are located outside the heat transfer pipe 15 in the x-direction. In the example of fig. 3, the 1 st extension portion 16_1 and the 2 nd extension portion 16_2 are the same size and are provided to the heat transfer pipe 15 so that the longitudinal direction thereof extends along the y-direction. The 1 st extension portion 16_1 and the 2 nd extension portion 16_2, which are separately configured, are attached to sides of the heat transfer tube 15 in the y direction, respectively.
When viewed from the z direction, the 1 st extension portion 16_1 has a rectangular shape, and one of the long sides thereof is provided to the heat transfer pipe 15.

The 1 st heat transfer promoting portion 17_1_1 has 3 slits 21 arranged in parallel along the x direction. The slit 21 is an opening penetrating the fin 16. Instead of the slit 21 of the 1 st heat transfer promoting portion 17_1_1, a cut-and-raised portion, a louver, or a concave-convex portion may be provided. The cut-and-raised portion is formed by raising a portion between 2 parallel slit-like slits formed in the surface of the fin 16 in the z-direction. As a result of the formation of the cut-and-raised portions, openings having the same shape as the cut-and-raised portions are formed in the fins 16. The cut-and-raised portion protrudes from the fin 16 facing in the z-direction. The louver is formed by inclining a portion between 2 slits formed in the surface of the fin 16 with respect to the surface of the fin 16. As a result of the formation of the louver, openings having the same shape as the louver are formed in the fins 16. The concave-convex portion is formed by projecting or recessing the surface of the fin 16 in the z direction.

That is, the heat exchange member 14 has a region in which the 1 st heat transfer promoting portion 17_1_1 and the 2 nd flat portion 17_2_2 are juxtaposed in the x direction, and a region in which the 1 st flat portion 17_1_2 and the 2 nd heat transfer promoting portion 17_2_1 are juxtaposed in the x direction. Further, in the example of fig. 3, a region is provided in which the 1 st heat transfer promoting portion 17_1_1 and the 2 nd heat transfer promoting portion 17_2_1 are juxtaposed in the x direction.
In the heat exchanger 11 of embodiment 1, the inflowing air flow flows in the x direction on the surface of the 1 st heat transfer promoting region 17_1 of the fin 16. In the 1 st heat transfer promoting region 17_1, a part of the airflow promotes heat transfer in the slit 21 formed in the 1 st heat transfer promoting portion 17_1_1. In addition, the air flow flowing into the 1 st flat portion 17_1_2 and the other air flows avoiding the 1 st heat transfer promoting portion 17_1_1 flow in the x direction on the surface of the 1 st flat portion 17_1_2.

In the 2 nd heat transfer promoting region 17_2, a part of the airflow promotes heat transfer in the slit 21 formed in the 2 nd heat transfer promoting portion 17_2_1. In addition, the air flow flowing into the 2 nd flat portion 17_2_2 and the other air flows avoiding the 2 nd heat transfer promoting portion 17_2_1 flow in the x direction on the surface of the 2 nd flat portion 17_2_2.
Fig. 4 is a diagram showing a modification of the mounting method of the fins 16 of the heat exchanger 11 to the heat transfer pipe 15 according to embodiment 1. Fig. 4 is a view of the heat transfer pipe 15 and the fins 16 viewed in the y direction. In the above description, the 1 st extension portion 16_1 and the 2 nd extension portion 16_2 of the fin 16 are each attached to the heat transfer tube 15, but as shown in fig. 4, the 1 st extension portion 16_1 and the 2 nd extension portion 16_2 may be integrally formed. The same applies to other embodiments 2,3, 4 and 5.
The fin 16 has a 1 st extension portion 16_1, a2 nd extension portion 16_2, and a main body portion 16_3. The 1 st extension portion 16_1 and the 2 nd extension portion 16_2 of the fin 16 shown in fig. 4 are integrally formed together with the main body portion 16_3. The main body portion 16_3 is bent so as to be in contact with the heat transfer tube 15, and the bent main body portion 16_3 is attached to the heat transfer tube 15. The heat exchange member 14 of the present embodiment can be constituted by such a mounting form.
Further, the positions of the 1 st extension portion 16_1 and the 2 nd extension portion 16_2 with respect to the heat transfer pipe 15 in the z direction can be constituted as follows. For example, as shown in fig. 4, the 1 st extension portion 16_1 and the 2 nd extension portion 16_2 are arranged in parallel with the center of the heat transfer tube 15 in the z direction. This configuration can also be applied to a form in which the 1 st extension portion 16_1 and the 2 nd extension portion 16_2 are individually mounted to the heat transfer tube 15. The 1 st extension portion 16_1 and the 2 nd extension portion 16_2 may not be strictly juxtaposed with the center of the heat transfer tube 15 in the z direction, and the 1 st extension portion 16_1 and the 2 nd extension portion 16_2 may be disposed within the range of the heat transfer tube 15 in the z direction. Although not shown, the 1 st extension portion 16_1 and the 2 nd extension portion 16_2 may be arranged coplanar with the end surface of the heat transfer tube 15 in the z direction.
As described above, the heat exchanger 11 of embodiment 1 includes: a heat transfer pipe 15 extending in a2 nd direction intersecting the 1 st direction of the gas flow; and a fin 16 provided to the heat transfer pipe 15 and having a surface along the 1 st and 2 nd directions. The fins 16 have 1 st extending portions 16_1, and the 1 st extending portions 16_1 are provided on the upstream side of the heat transfer tube 15 in the 1 st direction, and have 1 st heat transfer promoting regions 17_1 for improving the heat transfer rate with the gas. The fin 16 has a2 nd extension portion 16_2, and the 2 nd extension portion 16_2 is provided on the downstream side of the heat transfer tube 15 in the 1 st direction, and has a2 nd heat transfer promoting region 17_2 for improving the heat transfer rate with the gas. The heat exchanger 11 according to embodiment 1 is provided with the 1 st heat transfer promoting region 17_1 on the upstream side and the 2 nd heat transfer promoting region 17_2 on the downstream side of the heat transfer tubes 15, and therefore, the heat transfer rate between the fins 16 and the gas passing through the fins 16 can be improved.
Here, when the gas is sent toward the heat transfer pipe 15, the gas flows around the surface of the heat transfer pipe 15 along the x-direction so as to bypass the heat transfer pipe 15, and the gas does not easily flow toward the upstream end and the downstream end (the left and right end of the paper surface of the heat transfer pipe 15 illustrated in fig. 4) of the heat transfer pipe 15 in the gas flow direction. However, in the present embodiment, the 1 st extension portion 16_1 and the 2 nd extension portion 16_2 extending in the x-direction of the gas flow are provided on the upstream side and the downstream side of the heat transfer tube 15, respectively. The 1 st extension portion 16_1 is provided with a1 st heat transfer promoting region 17_1 for improving the heat transfer rate with the gas, and the 2 nd extension portion 16_2 is provided with a 2 nd heat transfer promoting region 17_2 for improving the heat transfer rate with the gas. Therefore, the heat transfer rate between the fin 16 and the gas flowing in the x direction can be improved.
The 2 nd flat portion 17_2_2 is disposed in the 2 nd heat transfer promoting region 17_2 juxtaposed in the x direction with the 1 st heat transfer promoting portion 17_1_1, and the 2 nd heat transfer promoting portion 17_2_1 is disposed in the 2 nd heat transfer promoting region 17_2 juxtaposed in the x direction with the 1 st flat portion 17_1_2. Therefore, even if the gas flowing in the x-direction flows in the 1 st flat portion 17_1_2 on the upstream side, the gas easily flows in the 2 nd heat transfer promoting portion 17_2_1 on the downstream side thereof. Further, the gas flowing in the 1 st flat portion 17_1_2 on the downstream side flows around the 1 st heat transfer promoting portion 17_1_1 on the upstream side thereof. Therefore, the heat transfer rate in the fins 16 can be improved. Further, according to this structure, the path of the air flow passing through the 1 st flat portion 17_1_2 or the 2 nd flat portion 17_2_2 through the entire fin 16 can be extended, and therefore, the substantial heat transfer area in the fin 16 can be enlarged.
In the 1 st heat transfer promoting region 17_1, the 1 st heat transfer promoting portions 17_1_1 and the 1 st flat portions 17_1_2 are alternately arranged along the y direction, which is the 2 nd direction. In the 2 nd heat transfer promoting region 17_2, the 2 nd heat transfer promoting portions 17_2_1 and the 2 nd flat portions 17_2_2 are alternately arranged along the y direction, which is the 2 nd direction. Therefore, when the pressure loss distribution of the entire fin 16 is observed, the pressure loss distribution of the air flow in the y direction is nearly uniform. Therefore, as a result of the decrease in the air flow passing through the 1 st flat portion 17_1_2 and the 2 nd flat portion 17_2_2, the heat transfer rate between the air flow and the fins 16 increases.
Embodiment 2
The heat exchange member 14 of the heat exchanger 11 according to embodiment 2 is different in size between the 1 st flat portion 17_1_2 and the 1 st flat portion 17_1_2 from the heat exchange member 14 of the heat exchanger 11 according to embodiment 1.

In addition, only the 1 st heat transfer promoting portion 17_1_1, the 1 st flat portion 17_1_2, and the 2 nd heat transfer promoting portion 17_2_1 and the 2 nd flat portion 17_2_2 may have the same length in the y direction.
The position of the 1 st heat transfer promoting portion 17_1_1 in the y direction is the same as the position of the 2 nd flat portion 17_2_2 in the 2 nd heat transfer promoting region 17_2 in the y direction. The position of the 1 st flat portion 17_1_2 in the y direction is the same as the position of the 2 nd heat transfer promoting portion 17_2_1 in the y direction in the 2 nd heat transfer promoting region 17_2.
That is, the positions of the 1 st heat transfer promoting portion 17_1_1 and the 2 nd heat transfer promoting portion 17_2_1 formed on the fin 16 of the heat exchanger 11 of embodiment 2 are shifted from each other in the y direction. Also, the positions of the 1 st flat portion 17_1_2 and the 2 nd flat portion 17_2_2 are offset from each other in the y direction.
As described above, the heat exchanger 11 according to embodiment 2 includes: a heat transfer pipe 15 extending in a 2 nd direction intersecting the 1 st direction of the gas flow; and a fin 16 provided to the heat transfer pipe 15 and having a surface along the 1 st and 2 nd directions. The fins 16 have 1 st extending portions 16_1, and the 1 st extending portions 16_1 are provided on the upstream side of the heat transfer tube 15 in the 1 st direction, and have 1 st heat transfer promoting regions 17_1 for improving the heat transfer rate with the gas. The fin 16 has a 2 nd extension portion 16_2, and the 2 nd extension portion 16_2 is provided on the downstream side of the heat transfer tube 15 in the 1 st direction, and has a 2 nd heat transfer promoting region 17_2 for improving the heat transfer rate with the gas. The heat exchanger 11 according to embodiment 1 is provided with the 1 st heat transfer promoting region 17_1 on the upstream side and the 2 nd heat transfer promoting region 17_2 on the downstream side of the heat transfer tubes 15, and therefore, the heat transfer rate between the fins 16 and the gas passing through the fins 16 can be improved.
Here, when the gas is sent toward the heat transfer pipe 15, the gas flows around the surface of the heat transfer pipe 15 along the x-direction so as to bypass the heat transfer pipe 15, and the gas does not easily flow toward the upstream end and the downstream end (the left and right end of the paper surface of the heat transfer pipe 15 illustrated in fig. 4) in the gas flow direction of the heat transfer pipe 15. However, in the present embodiment, the 1 st extension portion 16_1 and the 2 nd extension portion 16_2 extending in the x-direction of the gas flow are provided on the upstream side and the downstream side of the heat transfer tube 15, respectively. The 1 st extension portion 16_1 is provided with a1 st heat transfer promoting region 17_1 for improving the heat transfer rate with the gas, and the 2 nd extension portion 16_2 is provided with a2 nd heat transfer promoting region 17_2 for improving the heat transfer rate with the gas. Therefore, the heat transfer rate between the fin 16 and the gas flowing in the x direction can be improved.
In embodiment 2, the lengths of the 1 st heat transfer promoting portion 17_1_1, the 1 st flat portion 17_1_2, and the 2 nd heat transfer promoting portion 17_2_1 and the 2 nd flat portion 17_2_2 in the x-direction and the y-direction are the same. Therefore, in manufacturing the fin 16, the 1 st heat transfer promoting portion 17_1 and the 2 nd heat transfer promoting portion 17_2_1 can be formed on the fin 16 by feeding and punching in order.

The 1 st heat transfer promoting portion 17_1_1 is arranged with the 2 nd heat transfer promoting portion 17_2_1 in the x direction, and the 1 st flat portion 17_1_2 is arranged with the 2 nd flat portion 17_2_2 in the x direction.
The position in the y direction of the 2 nd heat transfer promoting portion 17_2_1 formed on the fin 16 provided to the 1 st heat transfer tube 15_1 is different from the position in the y direction of the 1 st heat transfer promoting portion 17_1_1 formed on the fin 16 provided to the 2 nd heat transfer tube 15_2.
Fig. 10 is a diagram showing a modification of the heat exchange member 14 of the heat exchanger 11 according to embodiment 5. In fig. 10, white arrows show the direction of the gas flow. In embodiment 5, the plurality of heat exchange members 14 shown in fig. 2 are provided at intervals in the z direction, and 3 rows are provided in the x direction. In fig. 10, the 1 st column heat exchange member 14_1, the 2 nd column heat exchange member 14_2, and the 3 rd column heat exchange member 14_3 are shown as examples thereof.
The 1 st heat transfer promoting portions 17_1_1 and 1 st flat portions 17_1_2 formed on the fins 16 provided on the 1 st heat transfer tube 15_1, the 2 nd heat transfer tube 15_2 and the 3 rd heat transfer tube 15_3 are the same as those of fig. 5.
As shown in fig. 10, the position in the 2 nd direction of the 2 nd heat transfer promoting portion 17_2_1 provided in the 1 st heat transfer tube 15_1 is different from the position in the 2 nd direction of the 1 st heat transfer promoting portion 17_1_1 provided in the 2 nd heat transfer tube 15_2. The position in the y direction of the 2 nd heat transfer promoting portion 17_2_1 provided in the 2 nd heat transfer pipe 15_2 is different from the position in the y direction of the 1 st heat transfer promoting portion 17_1_1 provided in the 3 rd heat transfer pipe 15_3.
According to embodiment 5, the 1 st heat transfer promoting portions 17_1_1 of adjacent heat transfer tubes 15 are positioned differently in the 2 nd direction. Therefore, the pressure loss distribution of the air flow in the y direction becomes uniform, and as a result of the air flow passing through the 1 st flat portion 17_1_2 and the 2 nd flat portion 17_2_2 being reduced, the heat transfer rate between the air flow and the fins 16 is improved.
Even if the air flow passes through the 1 st flat portion 17_1_2 and the 2 nd flat portion 17_2_2, the plurality of fins 16 are arranged in the x direction, which is the flow direction of the air flow, and therefore, the path of the air flow is lengthened, and the substantial heat transfer area can be enlarged.
Summary of effects
In the case where the heat transfer tube 15 is a round tube or a flat tube, the air flow does not easily flow before and after the heat transfer tube 15, and therefore, as in embodiments 1 to 5, the technical idea of providing the fins 16 with both the 1 st heat transfer promoting region 17_1 and the 2 nd heat transfer promoting region 17_2 is not originally provided. Further, the technical idea of promoting the heat transfer effect by the arrangement or combination of the 1 st heat transfer promoting portion 17_1_1 in the 1 st heat transfer promoting region 17_1 and the 2 nd heat transfer promoting portion 17_2_1 in the 2 nd heat transfer promoting region 17_2 does not exist.
In the heat exchanger 11 according to embodiments 1 to 5, the 1 st heat transfer promoting portion 17_1 is formed in the fin 16 extending toward the upwind side, and the 2 nd heat transfer promoting portion 17_2_1 is formed in the fin 16 extending toward the downwind side, so that the fin 16 has a large influence on the heat transfer efficiency.
In embodiments 1 to 5, it is described that the 1 st heat transfer promoting portion 17_1_1 and the 2 nd heat transfer promoting portion 17_2_1 can be constituted by any one or more of a cut-up portion, a slit, a louver, and a concave-convex portion. In the case where the cut-up portions, slits, or louvers are used, since the openings are provided in the fins 16, the area of the planar portions of the fins 16, that is, the area where heat exchange with the gas is performed, is reduced. Here, unlike embodiment 1 to embodiment 5, in the heat exchanger in which the heat transfer tube 15 penetrates the fins 16, the entire outer peripheral surface of the heat transfer tube is in contact with the fins, and therefore, the direction of heat conduction from the heat transfer tube 15 to the fins 16 is 360 degrees when viewed in the cross section of the heat transfer tube 15. Therefore, the influence on the reduction of the heat exchange area due to the provision of the openings in the fins 16 is limited. However, in the heat exchangers according to embodiments 1 to 5, the fins 16 are connected to the side of the heat transfer tube 15 in the y direction or the x-y plane (fig. 4) of the heat transfer tube 15, and therefore, the direction of heat conduction from the heat transfer tube 15 to the fins 16 is limited. Therefore, in embodiments 1 to 5, the effect on the reduction of the heat exchange area due to the provision of the openings in the fins 16 is large compared to the heat exchanger in which the heat transfer tubes pass through the fins. Therefore, the opening area of the fin 16 and the arrangement of the 1 st heat transfer promoting portions 17_1_1 and the 2 nd heat transfer promoting portions 17_2_1 in embodiments 1 to 5 will be described below.
Fig. 11 is a diagram showing the arrangement of the 1 st heat transfer promoting portion 17_1_1 and the 2 nd heat transfer promoting portion 17_2_1 formed on the fin 16 of the comparative example. Fig. 11 shows a1 st heat transfer tube 15_1 and a2 nd heat transfer tube 15_2 arranged at intervals in the x-direction. As shown in fig. 11, the 1 st heat transfer promoting portion 17_1_1 is arranged in the x direction of the 1 st heat transfer promoting portion 17_1_1, and the 2 nd heat transfer promoting portion 17_2_1 is arranged. Further, the 1 st flat portion 17_1_2 is arranged in the x direction of the 1 st flat portion 17_1_2, and the 2 nd flat portion 17_2_2 is arranged in the x direction.
Fig. 12 is a graph showing a relationship between the gap area ratio and the air-side heat transfer performance. The "gap area ratio" is the gap area/the area of the fin 16. The "air-side heat transfer performance" is the air-side heat transfer area x air-side heat conductivity of the fins 16.
In fig. 12, g_1 shows the characteristics of the gap area ratio and the air-side heat transfer performance of the heat exchanger 11 shown in fig. 11. g2 shows the characteristics of the gap area ratio and the air side heat transfer performance of the heat exchanger 11 shown in fig. 9. g3 shows characteristics of a gap area ratio and air-side heat transfer performance in the case where the heat exchanger 11 shown in fig. 5 is provided with 2 rows in the x direction. g4 shows characteristics of a gap area ratio and air-side heat transfer performance in the case where the heat exchanger 11 shown in fig. 8 is provided with 2 rows in the x direction.
As shown in fig. 12, if the gap area ratio is the same, the air-side heat transfer performance of the fin 16 shown in fig. 8 is the highest. Next, the fins 16 shown in fig. 5 and the fins 16 shown in fig. 9 have high air-side heat transfer performance, and the fins 16 shown in fig. 5, 8 and 9 have higher air-side heat transfer performance than the fins 16 shown in fig. 11 as a comparative example. The other fins 16 according to embodiments 1 to 5 have higher air-side heat transfer performance than the fins 16 shown in fig. 11 as comparative examples.
In the case of the structure of the heat exchanger 11 of fig. 9, the air-side heat transfer performance is higher in the case of the gap area ratio of 7.5% than in the case of 15%, as shown in g_2 of fig. 12. Therefore, in the case of adopting the structure of the heat exchanger 11 of fig. 9, the gap area ratio is preferably set to 7.5%. Further, as shown in fig. 12, in g_1, a peak in air-side heat transfer performance occurs at a gap area ratio of 7.5%. In any of the patterns according to embodiments 1 to 5, the slit area ratio is preferably 5% to 10%. The slit area ratio is defined in this way to suppress a decrease in the heat transfer easiness, that is, the heat conductivity in the fins 16 and to improve the heat transfer ratio of the 1 st heat transfer promoting portion 17_1_1 and the 2nd heat transfer promoting portion 17_2_1.
In embodiments 1 to 5, the shape of the 1 st heat transfer promoting portion 17_1_1 and the 2 nd heat transfer promoting portion 17_2_1 may be different. For example, the 1 st heat transfer promoting portion 17_1_1 may be formed as the slit 21, and the 2 nd heat transfer promoting portion 17_2_1 may be formed as the concave-convex shape. In order to avoid frosting, the number of slits 21 of the 1 st heat transfer promoting portion 17_1_1 may be smaller than the number of slits 21 of the 2 nd heat transfer promoting portion 17_2_1.
In addition, the 1 st heat transfer promoting portion 17_1_1 may have a different shape. For example, the 1 st heat transfer promoting portion 17_1_1 may have a slit 21 and a louver. Similarly, the shape of the 2 nd heat transfer promoting portion 17_2_1 may be different. For example, the 2 nd heat transfer promoting portion 17_2_1 may have the slit 21 and the concave-convex shape.
Embodiments 1 to 5 are presented as examples, and are not intended to limit the claims. The embodiments may be implemented in other various forms, and various omissions, substitutions, and changes may be made without departing from the spirit of the embodiments. These embodiments and modifications thereof are included in the scope and gist of the embodiments.
