Zusammenfassung: | Provided is a heat exchanger and an air conditioner each of which has a surface structure that can reduce adherence of frost by scattering condensed water even when used in a frosting environment. A heat exchanger includes a portion on whose surface a water-repellent coating is formed. The surface on which the water-repellent coating is formed has a surface structure that satisfies all of the following relationships: rw(entirety) > 0.6/|cosθw|, rw(protrusion) > 0.6/|cosθw|, 0.1 < d/L < 0.8, L < 3.0 µm, and 90° < θw < 120°, where L is an average pitch of protrusions, d is an average diameter of the protrusions, rw(entirety) is an average area-enlargement ratio of an entire surface, rw(protrusion) is an average area-enlargement ratio of surface protrusions, and θw is a contact angle of water on a flat surface of the water-repellent coating. |
