  • Patent number: 6698508
    Abstract: A fin and tube type heat-exchanger having a plurality of 6 mm or smaller heat tubes to allow refrigerant to move therein includes a plurality of cooling fins arranged at predetermined intervals, each cooling fin having a number of joint holes arranged in one or more stages, and a number of slits between the joint holes formed on each stage. Each slit has a projecting segment with an open portion corresponding to the direction of air flow and a pair of standing segments formed at both sides of the projecting segment for guiding the direction of air flow. The projecting segments project in the same direction from the surface of each cooling fin, and the slits are grouped in five rows. The heat tubes pass through and are jointed with the joint holes, respectively. The heat exchanger reduces pressure loss, optimizes heat-exchange efficiency, reduces manufacturing costs, and adapts to alternative refrigerants.

  • Patent number: 6585037
    Abstract: Disclosed is a fin and tube type heat-exchanger, which has a number of heat tubes of 6 mm or smaller to cause a reduction of the pressure loss and to prevent a drop in heat-exchange efficiency. Furthermore, the fin and tube type heat-exchanger can obtain the optimum heat-exchange efficiency, reduce the manufacturing cost and adapt to alternative refrigerants.

  • Patent number: 6325140
    Abstract: Fin tube heat exchanger including heat exchange tubes each having an inside for flow of fluid therethrough, and sheets of cooling fins stacked at fixed intervals each having the heat exchange tubes passed therethrough in a row pitch L2, a direction along an air flow, in a range of 1.8 D0≦L2≦2.2 D0and in a step pitch S2, a direction perpendicular to the air flow, in a range of 3.3 D0≦S2≦4.5 D0, where D0denotes a diameter of the heat exchange tube, and projection pieces between the tubes opened for the air flow, thereby reducing a power consumption, noise, to improve reliability of the user, and saving production cost and making the heat exchanger compact.
