It is an arrow view. The heat exchanger of the present invention includes a pipe 11 through which a refrigerant flows, and a pipe 11 inserted into a fin hole 14, which contacts the outside of the pipe 11 to form a flow of the refrigerant and air flowing outside the pipe 11. And a fin 12b for improving the heat exchange efficiency between the fins 12b, wherein the fin 12b has a fin pitch p of 1.1 mm to 1.4 mm.
As shown in FIG. 1, the fin 12b is provided with a large number of cuts 16b in parallel with a straight line connecting the centers of the adjacent fin holes 14, and the cut 16b is formed between the fins 14 and the adjacent fin holes 14. The two holes are provided in parallel with each other with a space b between the holes 14 and cut and raised.

When the fin pitch p is less than 1.1 mm, the air resistance becomes excessive, the air volume and performance tend to decrease, and the noise tends to increase. When the fin pitch p exceeds 1.4 mm, the fin pitch p exceeds 1.4 mm.
The heat exchange efficiency tends to decrease, and it is difficult to make the heat exchanger compact. The desirable range of the fin pitch p is 1.25 to
1.35 mm. If the interval b between the cuts and raises 16b is less than 4.5a, two adjacent cuts and raises 16b
Because they are too close to each other, the air resistance is high, which is inappropriate for reducing the fin pitch, and it is difficult to effectively make the air flow turbulent. If the interval b between the cuts 16b is too large, exceeding 7a, it is difficult to effectively make the air flow turbulent. Preferably, the interval b is (5-6.5)
a.

In the present invention, the fin pitch p of the fins 12b is, for example, about 1.3 mm. FIG.
As shown in FIG. 3, by providing two cuts 16b, 16b in parallel between the fin holes 14 adjacent to the fin holes 14 which are vertically arranged in a line at a predetermined interval b, two by two, The fins 12b have a large number of

The cut and raised portions 16b are formed in order to make the flow of air flowing between the fins 12b and the fins 12b turbulent and increase the heat exchange efficiency between the refrigerant flowing through the pipe 11 and the air. The pipe 11 through which the refrigerant passes is inserted into the fin hole 14 which is a hole formed in the fin.

When a heat exchanger having the fins 12b is used as the heat exchanger 5 of the indoor unit 1 shown in FIG.
The air in the room passes through the suction grill 2 and the air filter 3 and is heat-exchanged by the heat exchanger 5 having the fins 12b. The air direction is determined by the louvers 8 and the flaps 9, and the air is blown into the room.
This heat exchanger 5 has a large number of fins 12b at a fin pitch p of 1.1 mm to 1.4 mm, and has two cuts 16b at intervals b between adjacent pipes 11. And the distance b is 1
When the width of 6b is a, it is (4.5-7) a, so that it can be made compact and has excellent heat exchange efficiency between refrigerant and air.

In the case of the heat exchanger of the second embodiment, the refrigerant flowing through the pipe 11
2c is cooled, water in the air is condensed, and water drops are dropped particularly below the pipe 11, but the water drops are caught on the cuts 16b of the fins 12c and flow down along the cuts 16b. Therefore, the water droplets flow down without being large, and the heat transfer area of the fins is not reduced.
Therefore, the heat exchanger of the second embodiment is compact,
Moreover, the heat exchanger is such that the heat transfer area of the fins is hardly reduced depending on the water droplets. If the angle θ is less than 10 °, the fin is sandwiched between the fins and does not easily flow down.
When the angle exceeds 30 °, the inclination of the cut and raised portion is small, so that it is difficult for water droplets to flow down along the cut and raised portion, and the length of the cut and shortened portion is reduced due to the arrangement between pipes.

And the indoor unit of the air conditioner was produced using the heat exchanger of this invention provided with the fin 12b. On the other hand, a conventional fin 12a having the shapes and dimensions shown in FIGS. 8 to 10 was prepared. The fins 12a have a fin pitch of 1.4 mm as shown in FIG. 9, and the fins 16a are six places counted on one side, and have a width of 1.2 as shown in FIG.
mm. And the indoor unit of the air conditioner was produced using the conventional heat exchanger provided with the fin 12a.
Further, an indoor unit was manufactured using a heat exchanger provided with flat fins. Table 1 shows the analysis results of the performance of these indoor units. However, the fin surface temperature (Tw) is 40
゜ C, the inflow air temperature (Ti) was set to 20 ° C.

The present invention using the fins 12b is the most efficient.
94 was a bit bad. On the other hand, when the wind speed is 1 m / s, the pressure loss ΔPa of the air per row (row equivalent pressure loss) ΔPa is the smallest at 2.82 Pa of the plate fin,
The maximum was 7.86 Pa when 2a was used, and 5.15 Pa in the case of the present invention using the fin 12b, which was smaller than that when the conventional fin 12a was used.
