Abstract: An objective of this invention is to provide a separator for a fuel cell whereby a fuel, air or cooling water can be evenly and efficiently fed. In a separator for a fuel cell comprising fuel channels 105 in one side and cooling water channels 106 in the other side, the regions where the fuel channels 105 and the cooling water channels 106 are formed rectangular. The fuel gas is fed from a first fuel-feeding manifold 107 and discharged from a first fuel-discharging manifold 109 to the outside of the cell. The cooling water is fed from a first cooling-water-feeding manifold 111 and discharged from a first cooling-water-discharging manifold 113 to the outside of the cell.

Abstract: A heat exchanger used for a refrigerating cycle has a plurality of grooves formed in the inner surface of a pipe thereof in the flowing direction of a refrigerant. At least two types of grooves which differ in width are used. The pipe also has fins which are coated with a hydrophilic paint that is black in color. This design enables the heat exchanger to provide improved performance.

Abstract: In a heat exchanger comprising a number of multilayered fins, and a refrigerant pipe arranged in the meandering form in the fins, and an air conditioner having the heat exchanger, each of the fins has a corrugated portion formed in an air-flow direction thereon, which has at least two wavelike portions for producing a turbulent flow of air having such strength that a temperature boundary layer of the air is broken, but resistance against to the air flow is not excessively high. Each wavelike portion may be designed to have a triangular section or a trapezoidal section, and a flat portion may be disposed between the wavelike portions.
