A heat exchanger according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention will be described. FIG. 1 is a top view showing the overall configuration of the heat exchanger according to the present embodiment. This heat exchanger is accommodated in an outdoor unit of a refrigeration cycle apparatus such as an air conditioner, for example. The heat exchanger includes a plate-like fin and a flat tube, and a refrigerant (an example of a heat medium) that flows through the flat tube and air (an example of an external fluid) that flows along the plate-like fins; It is a fin tube type heat exchanger which performs heat exchange of. In the following drawings including FIG. 1, the relative dimensional relationship and shape of each component may be different from the actual one.

図１に示すように、熱交換器は、空気の流れ方向に沿って２列に配置された熱交換部１ａ、１ｂを有している。熱交換部１ａは、空気の流れにおいて熱交換部１ｂよりも下流側に位置している。熱交換部１ａ、１ｂのそれぞれは、後述する板状フィン１０及び扁平管１１を備えている。熱交換部１ａ、１ｂの一端部には、液側のヘッダタンクである分配ヘッダ３０と、ガス側のヘッダタンクであるガスヘッダ３１と、が配置されている。熱交換部１ａ、１ｂの他端部は、熱交換部１ａが内側となり熱交換部１ｂが外側となるように曲げられている。  As shown in FIG. 1, the heat exchanger has heat exchange portions 1a and 1b arranged in two rows along the air flow direction. The heat exchange part 1a is located downstream of the heat exchange part 1b in the air flow. Each of the heat exchange parts 1a and 1b includes a plate-like fin 10 and a flat tube 11 which will be described later. A distribution header 30 that is a liquid-side header tank and a gas header 31 that is a gas-side header tank are disposed at one end of the heat exchange units 1a and 1b. The other ends of the heat exchange parts 1a and 1b are bent so that the heat exchange part 1a is on the inside and the heat exchange part 1b is on the outside.

熱交換部１ａの一部の扁平管１１は、ジョイント１８を介してガスヘッダ３１に接続されている。熱交換部１ｂの一部の扁平管１１は、ジョイント１８を介して分配ヘッダ３０に接続されている。また、熱交換部１ａの一部の扁平管１１と熱交換部１ｂの一部の扁平管１１とは、ジョイント１８及びＵベンド１６を介して接続されている。これらの接続関係の例及びジョイント１８の構成については、実施の形態２で後述する。  A part of the flat tube 11 of the heat exchange part 1 a is connected to the gas header 31 via a joint 18. A part of the flat tube 11 of the heat exchange part 1 b is connected to the distribution header 30 via a joint 18. Further, a part of the flat tubes 11 of the heat exchange part 1 a and a part of the flat tubes 11 of the heat exchange part 1 b are connected via a joint 18 and a U bend 16. Examples of these connection relationships and the configuration of the joint 18 will be described later in a second embodiment.

図２は、本実施の形態に係る熱交換器の一部の構成を模式的に示す図である。図２では、板状フィン１０に平行な面で切断した熱交換器の模式的な断面構成を示している。図２に示すように、熱交換器の熱交換部１ａ、１ｂのそれぞれは、板状フィン１０と、板状フィン１０と交差しかつ互いに並列して延伸した複数の扁平管１１と、を備えている。  FIG. 2 is a diagram schematically showing a partial configuration of the heat exchanger according to the present embodiment. In FIG. 2, the typical cross-sectional structure of the heat exchanger cut | disconnected by the surface parallel to the plate-shaped fin 10 is shown. As shown in FIG. 2, each of the heat exchanging portions 1 a and 1 b of the heat exchanger includes a plate-like fin 10 and a plurality of flat tubes 11 that intersect with the plate-like fin 10 and extend in parallel with each other. ing.

扁平管１１は、長円、楕円又は長方形等の扁平な断面形状を有する伝熱管である。複数の扁平管１１は、板状フィン１０と平行な面内におけるそれぞれの長軸が互いに平行となり、かつ空気の流れ方向に平行となるように配置されている。以下、板状フィン１０と平行な面内における扁平管１１の長軸のことを、単に扁平管１１の長軸という場合がある。また、板状フィン１０と平行な面内における扁平管１１の短軸のことを、単に扁平管１１の短軸という場合がある。複数の扁平管１１は、扁平管１１の短軸の方向に、所定の間隙を介して互いに並列している。扁平管１１の内部には、隔壁によって区画された複数の冷媒流路が形成されている。  The flat tube 11 is a heat transfer tube having a flat cross-sectional shape such as an ellipse, an ellipse, or a rectangle. The plurality of flat tubes 11 are arranged such that their long axes in a plane parallel to the plate fins 10 are parallel to each other and parallel to the air flow direction. Hereinafter, the long axis of the flat tube 11 in a plane parallel to the plate-like fin 10 may be simply referred to as the long axis of the flat tube 11. In addition, the short axis of the flat tube 11 in a plane parallel to the plate-like fin 10 may be simply referred to as the short axis of the flat tube 11. The plurality of flat tubes 11 are arranged in parallel with each other through a predetermined gap in the direction of the short axis of the flat tubes 11. Inside the flat tube 11, a plurality of refrigerant flow paths partitioned by partition walls are formed.

板状フィン１０は、矩形平板状の形状を有している。板状フィン１０は、その長手方向が重力方向と平行になるように配置されている。板状フィン１０は、図２における紙面直交方向に、所定の間隙を介して複数並列して配置されている。空気の流れにおいて板状フィン１０の下流側の端部には、複数の扁平管１１を挿入するための複数の切欠き１２が形成されている。切欠き１２に挿入された扁平管１１は、ろう付け等により板状フィン１０と接合されている。空気の流れにおいて板状フィン１０の上流側の端部には、板状フィン１０の長手方向に沿って延びる平坦部１３が形成されている。ここで、平坦部１３とは、板状フィン１０に切欠き１２及び後述するスリット部１４等が形成されておらず、概ね平坦に形成された領域のことである。平坦部１３は、熱交換器が蒸発器として動作する際に凝縮水を排水する排水路となる。  The plate-like fin 10 has a rectangular flat plate shape. The plate-like fins 10 are arranged so that the longitudinal direction thereof is parallel to the direction of gravity. A plurality of the plate-like fins 10 are arranged in parallel in a direction orthogonal to the paper surface in FIG. A plurality of notches 12 for inserting a plurality of flat tubes 11 are formed at the downstream end of the plate-like fin 10 in the air flow. The flat tube 11 inserted into the notch 12 is joined to the plate fin 10 by brazing or the like. A flat portion 13 extending along the longitudinal direction of the plate fin 10 is formed at the upstream end of the plate fin 10 in the air flow. Here, the flat portion 13 is a region that is formed substantially flat without the notches 12 and the later-described slit portions 14 and the like being formed in the plate-like fin 10. The flat part 13 becomes a drainage channel for draining condensed water when the heat exchanger operates as an evaporator.

熱交換部１ａ、１ｂは、熱交換部１ａにおける複数の扁平管１１の配列と熱交換部１ｂにおける複数の扁平管１１の配列とが互いに半ピッチずれるように配置されている。  The heat exchange units 1a and 1b are arranged such that the arrangement of the plurality of flat tubes 11 in the heat exchange unit 1a and the arrangement of the plurality of flat tubes 11 in the heat exchange unit 1b are shifted from each other by a half pitch.

板状フィン１０のうち、隣り合う２つの扁平管１１の間の領域には、扁平管１１の長軸と平行に延伸した直線状のスリット部１４が形成されている。本例のスリット部１４は、延伸方向の両端が閉じた１つの長孔により構成されている。スリット部１４の延伸方向の長さｂは、扁平管１１の長軸の長さａよりも短くなっている（ｂ＜ａ）。複数の扁平管１１が並列する並列方向に見ると、スリット部１４の全体が扁平管１１と重なっている。スリット部１４の全体は、隣り合う２つの扁平管１１のそれぞれの長軸方向の一端１１−１同士を板状フィン１０に沿って結ぶ仮想の直線Ｌ１と、当該２つの扁平管１１のそれぞれの長軸方向の他端１１−２同士を板状フィン１０に沿って結ぶ仮想の直線Ｌ２と、の間に設けられている。例えば、扁平管１１の一端１１−１は、空気の流れにおいて扁平管１１の上流側の端部であり、扁平管１１の他端１１−２は、空気の流れにおいて扁平管１１の下流側の端部である。また、スリット部１４は、隣り合う２つの扁平管１１の長軸同士の中心線１５よりも下方に設けられている。例えば、スリット部１４と、当該スリット部１４の下方に隣接する扁平管１１の上面と、の間の距離は、扁平管１１の短軸の長さよりも短くなっている。  A linear slit portion 14 extending in parallel with the long axis of the flat tube 11 is formed in a region between the two adjacent flat tubes 11 in the plate-like fin 10. The slit part 14 of this example is comprised by one long hole with the both ends of the extending | stretching direction closed. The length b in the extending direction of the slit portion 14 is shorter than the length a of the long axis of the flat tube 11 (b <a). When viewed in the parallel direction in which the plurality of flat tubes 11 are arranged in parallel, the entire slit portion 14 overlaps the flat tube 11. The entirety of the slit portion 14 includes an imaginary straight line L1 that connects the long-side ends 11-1 of two adjacent flat tubes 11 along the plate-like fins 10, and each of the two flat tubes 11. It is provided between a virtual straight line L <b> 2 that connects the other ends 11-2 in the long axis direction along the plate-like fins 10. For example, one end 11-1 of the flat tube 11 is an end portion on the upstream side of the flat tube 11 in the air flow, and the other end 11-2 of the flat tube 11 is on the downstream side of the flat tube 11 in the air flow. It is an end. Further, the slit portion 14 is provided below the center line 15 between the long axes of the two adjacent flat tubes 11. For example, the distance between the slit portion 14 and the upper surface of the flat tube 11 adjacent below the slit portion 14 is shorter than the length of the short axis of the flat tube 11.

熱交換器において各扁平管１１に流れる冷媒の温度は、冷媒の状態（例えば、圧力、乾き度）によって異なる。このため、板状フィン１０を介して扁平管１１の間で伝熱が生じると、熱ロスが発生してしまう。  The temperature of the refrigerant flowing through each flat tube 11 in the heat exchanger varies depending on the state of the refrigerant (for example, pressure and dryness). For this reason, when heat transfer occurs between the flat tubes 11 via the plate-like fins 10, heat loss occurs.

これに対し、本実施の形態では、隣り合う扁平管１１の間の板状フィン１０にスリット部１４が形成されているため、板状フィン１０を介して段方向に熱が移動するのを抑制することができる。したがって、隣り合う扁平管１１の間での熱ロスを低減できるため、熱交換器の熱交換器能力をより向上できる。  On the other hand, in this Embodiment, since the slit part 14 is formed in the plate-shaped fin 10 between the adjacent flat tubes 11, it suppresses that a heat | fever moves to the step direction via the plate-shaped fin 10. FIG. can do. Therefore, since the heat loss between the adjacent flat tubes 11 can be reduced, the heat exchanger capability of the heat exchanger can be further improved.

また、本実施の形態では、スリット部１４の長さｂが扁平管１１の長軸の長さａよりも短くなっており、かつ、スリット部１４の全体が、隣り合う２つの扁平管１１のそれぞれの長軸方向の一端１１−１同士を板状フィン１０に沿って結ぶ直線Ｌ１と、当該２つの扁平管１１のそれぞれの長軸方向の他端１１−２同士を板状フィン１０に沿って結ぶ直線Ｌ２と、の間に設けられている。したがって、熱交換能力に関連するフィン効率を大きく低下させることなく熱ロスを低減できる。  In the present embodiment, the length b of the slit portion 14 is shorter than the length a of the long axis of the flat tube 11, and the entire slit portion 14 is formed by the two adjacent flat tubes 11. A straight line L1 that connects one end 11-1 in the major axis direction along the plate-like fin 10 and another other end 11-2 in the major axis direction of the two flat tubes 11 along the plate-like fin 10 And a straight line L2 connected to each other. Therefore, heat loss can be reduced without greatly reducing the fin efficiency related to the heat exchange capability.

また、本実施の形態では、スリット部１４の全体が直線Ｌ１と直線Ｌ２との間に設けられているため、板状フィン１０の前縁部（空気の流れにおいて上流側の端部）には切欠き１２及びスリット部１４が形成されない。したがって、板状フィン１０の強度の低下を抑えることができる。  Further, in the present embodiment, since the entire slit portion 14 is provided between the straight line L1 and the straight line L2, the front edge portion (the upstream end portion in the air flow) of the plate-like fin 10 is provided. The notch 12 and the slit part 14 are not formed. Therefore, a decrease in strength of the plate-like fin 10 can be suppressed.

特に、本実施の形態の熱交換器のように熱交換部１ａ、１ｂのそれぞれに曲げが加えられる場合には、板状フィン１０に荷重がかかるため、板状フィン１０の座屈が生じやすくなる。しかしながら、本実施の形態では、板状フィン１０の強度の低下を抑えられるため、板状フィン１０の座屈を生じにくくすることができる。  In particular, when bending is applied to each of the heat exchanging portions 1a and 1b as in the heat exchanger of the present embodiment, a load is applied to the plate-like fin 10, so that the plate-like fin 10 is likely to buckle. Become. However, in the present embodiment, since the decrease in strength of the plate-like fin 10 can be suppressed, it is possible to make it difficult for the plate-like fin 10 to buckle.

また、本実施の形態では、隣り合う２つの扁平管１１の長軸同士の中心線１５よりも下方にスリット部１４が形成されている。このため、熱交換器が蒸発器として動作する際に、扁平管１１の上部に滞留する凝縮水を、表面張力によって前方の平坦部１３に排水することができる。したがって、熱交換器の通風抵抗の増加を抑えることができる。  Further, in the present embodiment, the slit portion 14 is formed below the center line 15 between the long axes of the two adjacent flat tubes 11. For this reason, when the heat exchanger operates as an evaporator, the condensed water staying at the upper portion of the flat tube 11 can be drained to the front flat portion 13 by surface tension. Therefore, an increase in the ventilation resistance of the heat exchanger can be suppressed.

実施の形態２．
本発明の実施の形態２に係る熱交換器について説明する。図３は、本実施の形態に係る熱交換器の説明図である。図３では、上下方向に５段で空気の流れ方向に２列に配列した１０本の扁平管１１を示している。以下の説明では、空気の流れにおいて下流側に配置された熱交換部１ａの扁平管を上方から順に扁平管１１ａ１〜１１ａ５という場合があり、空気の流れにおいて上流側に配置された熱交換部１ｂの扁平管を上方から順に扁平管１１ｂ１〜１１ｂ５という場合がある。また、図３では、熱交換器が凝縮器として動作する場合の冷媒の流れを併せて示している。Embodiment 2. FIG.

本例では、扁平管１１として、管軸方向の中央部でヘアピン状に曲げられたヘアピン管が用いられている。このため、上下方向に隣接する２つの扁平管１１（例えば、扁平管１１ａ１及び扁平管１１ａ２）の図中奥側の端部同士は、ヘアピン部１７を介して一体的に接続されている。すなわち、上下方向に隣接する２つの扁平管１１は、実際には１本の管によって構成される場合がある。  In this example, a hairpin tube bent into a hairpin shape at the center in the tube axis direction is used as the flat tube 11. For this reason, the ends of the two flat tubes 11 (for example, the flat tube 11 a 1 and the flat tube 11 a 2) adjacent to each other in the vertical direction are integrally connected via the hairpin portion 17. In other words, the two flat tubes 11 adjacent in the vertical direction may actually be constituted by one tube.

図３に示すように、熱交換器には、それぞれ複数の扁平管１１によって複数の冷媒パスが構成されている。複数の冷媒パスのそれぞれは、冷媒を直列に流通させるようになっている。また、複数の冷媒パス同士は、例えば互いに並列に接続されている。冷媒パスの１つは、８つの扁平管１１ａ１〜１１ａ４、１１ｂ１〜１１ｂ４で構成されている。  As shown in FIG. 3, in the heat exchanger, a plurality of refrigerant paths are constituted by a plurality of flat tubes 11, respectively. Each of the plurality of refrigerant paths circulates the refrigerant in series. The plurality of refrigerant paths are connected in parallel, for example. One refrigerant path includes eight flat tubes 11a1 to 11a4 and 11b1 to 11b4.

具体的には、扁平管１１ａ４の手前側の端部は、冷媒パスの入口部となる冷媒配管（図示せず）を介して、ガスヘッダ３１に接続されている。扁平管１１ａ４には、ガスヘッダ３１から供給される過熱ガス冷媒が冷媒配管を介して流入するようになっている。扁平管１１ａ４の奥側の端部と扁平管１１ａ３の奥側の端部とは、ヘアピン部１７を介して接続されている。扁平管１１ａ３の手前側の端部と扁平管１１ａ２の手前側の端部とは、Ｕベンド１６を介して接続されている。扁平管１１ａ２の奥側の端部と扁平管１１ａ１の奥側の端部とは、ヘアピン部１７を介して接続されている。扁平管１１ａ１の手前側の端部と扁平管１１ｂ１の手前側の端部とは、Ｕベンド１６を介して接続されている。扁平管１１ｂ１の奥側の端部と扁平管１１ｂ２の奥側の端部とは、ヘアピン部１７を介して接続されている。扁平管１１ｂ２の手前側の端部と扁平管１１ｂ３の手前側の端部とは、Ｕベンド１６を介して接続されている。扁平管１１ｂ３の奥側の端部と扁平管１１ｂ４の奥側の端部とは、ヘアピン部１７を介して接続されている。扁平管１１ｂ４の手前側の端部は、冷媒パスの出口部となる冷媒配管（図示せず）を介して、分配ヘッダ３０に接続されている。扁平管１１ｂ４からは、過冷却液冷媒が冷媒配管を介して分配ヘッダ３０に流出するようになっている。  Specifically, the front end of the flat tube 11a4 is connected to the gas header 31 via a refrigerant pipe (not shown) serving as an inlet of the refrigerant path. The superheated gas refrigerant supplied from the gas header 31 flows into the flat tube 11a4 through the refrigerant pipe. The end on the back side of the flat tube 11a4 and the end on the back side of the flat tube 11a3 are connected via a hairpin portion 17. The end portion on the near side of the flat tube 11a3 and the end portion on the near side of the flat tube 11a2 are connected via a U-bend 16. The end on the back side of the flat tube 11 a 2 and the end on the back side of the flat tube 11 a 1 are connected via a hairpin portion 17. An end on the near side of the flat tube 11a1 and an end on the near side of the flat tube 11b1 are connected via a U-bend 16. The end on the back side of the flat tube 11b1 and the end on the back side of the flat tube 11b2 are connected via a hairpin portion 17. An end portion on the near side of the flat tube 11b2 and an end portion on the near side of the flat tube 11b3 are connected via a U-bend 16. The end on the back side of the flat tube 11b3 and the end on the back side of the flat tube 11b4 are connected via a hairpin portion 17. The front end of the flat tube 11b4 is connected to the distribution header 30 via a refrigerant pipe (not shown) serving as an outlet of the refrigerant path. From the flat tube 11b4, the supercooled liquid refrigerant flows out to the distribution header 30 through the refrigerant pipe.

扁平管１１ａ５、１１ｂ５は、上記の冷媒パスと並列に接続された別の冷媒パスの一部を構成している。また、図示していないが、扁平管１１ａ１の上方に隣接する扁平管１１には、さらに別の冷媒パスの入口部となる冷媒配管が接続されており、扁平管１１ｂ１の上方に隣接する扁平管１１には、当該冷媒パスの出口部となる冷媒配管が接続されている。  The flat tubes 11a5 and 11b5 constitute a part of another refrigerant path connected in parallel to the refrigerant path. Although not shown, the flat tube 11 adjacent to the upper side of the flat tube 11a1 is connected to a refrigerant pipe serving as an inlet portion of another refrigerant path, and the flat tube adjacent to the upper side of the flat tube 11b1. 11 is connected to a refrigerant pipe serving as an outlet of the refrigerant path.

ここで、冷媒パスの入口部及び出口部に接続される冷媒配管、並びにＵベンド１６としては、円形の断面を有する円管が用いられている。このため、扁平管１１と上記冷媒配管又はＵベンド１６との間は、それぞれジョイント１８を介して接続されている。  Here, a circular pipe having a circular cross section is used as the refrigerant pipe connected to the inlet and outlet of the refrigerant path and the U bend 16. For this reason, the flat tube 11 and the refrigerant pipe or the U bend 16 are connected via the joints 18 respectively.

図４は、本実施の形態に係るジョイント１８の構成を示す図である。図４では、ジョイント１８の側面図（ａ）及び正面図（ｂ）を併せて示している。図４に示すように、ジョイント１８の一端部には、円形の断面形状を有する円管部１８ａが設けられている。ジョイント１８の他端部には、扁平な断面形状を有する扁平管部１８ｂが設けられている。円管部１８ａと扁平管部１８ｂとの間には、流路形状を変換する流路形状変換部１８ｃが設けられている。円管部１８ａは冷媒配管又はＵベンド１６等の円管に接続され、扁平管部１８ｂは扁平管１１に接続されるようになっている。例えば、円管部１８ａの内径は、扁平管部１８ｂの短軸方向の内径よりも大きく、かつ扁平管部１８ｂの長軸方向の内径よりも小さくなっている。  FIG. 4 is a diagram illustrating a configuration of the joint 18 according to the present embodiment. In FIG. 4, a side view (a) and a front view (b) of the joint 18 are shown together. As shown in FIG. 4, a circular pipe portion 18 a having a circular cross-sectional shape is provided at one end portion of the joint 18. The other end portion of the joint 18 is provided with a flat tube portion 18b having a flat cross-sectional shape. Between the circular pipe part 18a and the flat pipe part 18b, a flow path shape conversion part 18c for converting the flow path shape is provided. The circular pipe portion 18 a is connected to a circular pipe such as a refrigerant pipe or a U bend 16, and the flat pipe portion 18 b is connected to the flat pipe 11. For example, the inner diameter of the circular pipe portion 18a is larger than the inner diameter of the flat tube portion 18b in the short axis direction and smaller than the inner diameter of the flat tube portion 18b in the long axis direction.

図３に戻り、本実施の形態では、冷媒パスの入口部又は出口部に接続される扁平管１１（例えば、扁平管１１ａ４、１１ｂ４）と、当該扁平管１１と上下方向に隣り合い、かつ別の冷媒パスの一部を構成する扁平管１１（例えば、扁平管１１ａ５、１１ｂ５）と、の間にのみスリット部１４が形成されている。上記以外の扁平管１１の間には、スリット部１４が形成されていない。  Returning to FIG. 3, in the present embodiment, the flat tube 11 (for example, the flat tubes 11 a 4 and 11 b 4) connected to the inlet or outlet of the refrigerant path, the flat tube 11 adjacent in the vertical direction, and separate The slit part 14 is formed only between the flat tubes 11 (for example, the flat tubes 11a5 and 11b5) constituting a part of the refrigerant path. The slit part 14 is not formed between the flat tubes 11 other than the above.

上記構成を有する熱交換器が凝縮器として動作する場合、扁平管１１ａ４には、ガスヘッダ３１から供給される過熱ガス冷媒が流入する。扁平管１１ａ４に過熱ガスとして流入した冷媒は、空気への放熱によって二相状態になるとともに、扁平管１１ａ３、１１ａ２、１１ａ１、１１ｂ１、１１ｂ２、１１ｂ３、１１ｂ４を順次流通する。扁平管１１ｂ４からは、過冷却液となった冷媒が分配ヘッダ３０に流出する。すなわち、冷媒パスの入口部に接続される扁平管１１ａ４には過熱ガス冷媒が流通し、冷媒パスの出口部に接続される扁平管１１ｂ４には過冷却液冷媒が流通する。その他の扁平管１１ａ３、１１ａ２、１１ａ１、１１ｂ１、１１ｂ２、１１ｂ３には、主に二相冷媒が流通する。同様に、別の冷媒パスの途中の一部を構成する扁平管１１ａ５、１１ｂ５には、主に二相冷媒が流通する。これにより、それぞれ上下方向に隣り合う扁平管１１ａ４と扁平管１１ａ５との間、及び扁平管１１ｂ４と扁平管１１ｂ５との間には、温度差が生じる。扁平管１１ａ４と扁平管１１ａ５との間、又は扁平管１１ｂ４と扁平管１１ｂ５との間で伝熱が生じてしまうと、大きな熱ロスが発生する。  When the heat exchanger having the above configuration operates as a condenser, the superheated gas refrigerant supplied from the gas header 31 flows into the flat tube 11a4. The refrigerant that has flowed into the flat tube 11a4 as superheated gas becomes a two-phase state due to heat radiation to the air, and sequentially flows through the flat tubes 11a3, 11a2, 11a1, 11b1, 11b2, 11b3, and 11b4. From the flat tube 11 b 4, the refrigerant that has become supercooled liquid flows out to the distribution header 30. That is, the superheated gas refrigerant flows through the flat tube 11a4 connected to the inlet portion of the refrigerant path, and the supercooled liquid refrigerant flows through the flat tube 11b4 connected to the outlet portion of the refrigerant path. Two-phase refrigerant mainly circulates through the other flat tubes 11a3, 11a2, 11a1, 11b1, 11b2, and 11b3. Similarly, two-phase refrigerant mainly circulates in the flat tubes 11a5 and 11b5 that constitute part of the middle of another refrigerant path. Thereby, a temperature difference arises between the flat tube 11a4 and the flat tube 11a5 which are adjacent to each other in the vertical direction, and between the flat tube 11b4 and the flat tube 11b5. If heat transfer occurs between the flat tube 11a4 and the flat tube 11a5 or between the flat tube 11b4 and the flat tube 11b5, a large heat loss occurs.

本実施の形態では、冷媒パスの入口部又は出口部に接続される扁平管１１（例えば、扁平管１１ａ４、１１ｂ４）と、当該扁平管１１と上下方向に隣り合い、かつ別の冷媒パスの一部を構成する扁平管１１（例えば、扁平管１１ａ５、１１ｂ５）と、の間には、伝熱を抑制するスリット部１４が形成されている。したがって、本実施の形態によれば、隣り合う冷媒パスの間での熱ロスを低減できるため、熱交換器の熱交換能力をより向上できる。  In the present embodiment, the flat tube 11 (for example, the flat tubes 11a4 and 11b4) connected to the inlet portion or the outlet portion of the refrigerant path, the flat tube 11 adjacent to the flat tube 11 in the vertical direction, and one of the other refrigerant paths. Between the flat tubes 11 (for example, the flat tubes 11a5 and 11b5) constituting the portion, a slit portion 14 that suppresses heat transfer is formed. Therefore, according to this Embodiment, since the heat loss between adjacent refrigerant | coolant paths can be reduced, the heat exchange capability of a heat exchanger can be improved more.

また、本実施の形態では、上記以外の扁平管１１の間には、スリット部１４が形成されていない。したがって、本実施の形態によれば、板状フィン１０のフィン効率の低下及び強度の低下を抑えることができる。  Moreover, in this Embodiment, the slit part 14 is not formed between the flat tubes 11 other than the above. Therefore, according to the present embodiment, it is possible to suppress a decrease in fin efficiency and a decrease in strength of the plate-like fin 10.

The plurality of slits 14a are arranged in a straight line at regular intervals. Each of the slits 14a is constituted by a long hole whose both ends in the extending direction are closed.

本実施の形態によれば、実施の形態１と比較して、板状フィン１０の強度を向上できるとともに、フィン効率の低下を抑えることができる。したがって、熱交換器の熱交換能力をより向上できる。  According to the present embodiment, compared to the first embodiment, the strength of the plate-like fin 10 can be improved, and the decrease in fin efficiency can be suppressed. Therefore, the heat exchange capability of the heat exchanger can be further improved.

As shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, a cut-and-raised portion 19 in which the plate-like fins 10 in the region are cut and raised is formed in a region between the adjacent flat tubes 11 in the plate-like fin 10. By forming the cut-and-raised portion 19, a heat transfer promoting slit 20 that promotes heat transfer with respect to the air flow is formed.

スリット部１４は、切り起こし部１９の下方に設けられている。すなわち、スリット部１４は、切り起こし部１９と、当該切り起こし部１９の下方に隣接する扁平管１１と、の間に設けられている。  The slit portion 14 is provided below the cut and raised portion 19. That is, the slit portion 14 is provided between the cut and raised portion 19 and the flat tube 11 adjacent to the lower portion of the cut and raised portion 19.

本実施の形態では、熱交換器が蒸発器として動作する場合、伝熱促進用スリット２０から排水される凝縮水は、その下方のスリット部１４に保持される。スリット部１４に保持された凝縮水は、その下方の扁平管１１の上面に滞留することなく、前方の平坦部１３から排水される。したがって、本実施の形態によれば、伝熱促進用スリット２０によって熱交換器能力を向上させつつ、熱交換器の通風抵抗の増加を抑えることができる。  In the present embodiment, when the heat exchanger operates as an evaporator, the condensed water drained from the heat transfer promoting slit 20 is held in the slit portion 14 below the condensed water. The condensed water held in the slit portion 14 is drained from the front flat portion 13 without staying on the upper surface of the flat tube 11 below. Therefore, according to the present embodiment, it is possible to suppress an increase in the ventilation resistance of the heat exchanger while improving the heat exchanger capability by the heat transfer promoting slit 20.

ここで、エネルギー効率は、次式で表されるものである。
暖房エネルギー効率＝室内熱交換器（凝縮器）能力／全入力
冷房エネルギー効率＝室内熱交換器（蒸発器）能力／全入力By using the heat exchanger according to any of Embodiments 1 to 4 for one or both of the condensation heat exchanger 34 and the evaporating heat exchanger 36, a highly efficient refrigeration cycle apparatus can be realized. .
