HEAT EXCHANGER AND AIR CONDITIONER EQUIPPED WITH THE SAME

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To maintain an excellent drainage performance even when a parallel flow type heat exchanger of a side flow system is placed in an inclined state so that a surface on the side on which condensed water gathers is turned downwards.SOLUTION: A heat exchanger 1 is provided with: two header pipes 2, 3; a plurality of flat tubes 4 disposed between the header pipes 2, 3, and making a refrigerant path 5 provided therein communicate with the inside the header pipes 2, 3; and corrugated fins 6 disposed between the flat tubes 4. An end of the corrugated fin 6 at the surface on the side, on which condensed water gathers, of the heat exchanger 1 is projected from an end of the flat tube 4, and a linear water-conducting member 10 is inserted to a gap G formed between the projected parts. An interval between the water-conducting member 10 and the projected end of the corrugated fin 6 located thereon is a distance at which the surface tension of water can act therebetween. A V-shaped cut 6a or 6b is formed at the edge of the projected end of the corrugated fin 6.
