Abstract

A heat exchanger is provided, comprising:
an inlet header (2) defining a refrigerant chamber therein;
an outlet header (6) spaced apart from the inlet header (2);
a plurality of tubes (3), two ends of each tube (3) being connected and communicated with the inlet and outlet headers (2, 6) respectively;
a plurality of fins (7), each of which is interposed between adjacent tubes (3), and
a distribution tube (1) disposed outside the refrigerant chamber and formed with a distribution opening, through which the distribution tube is communicated with the refrigerant chamber.
