  • Publication number: 20240159481
    Abstract: A corrugated fin of a heat exchanger is formed such that fin sections are joined together one after another in a tube axial direction of a plurality of flat heat-transfer tubes. Louvers in the fin sections of the corrugated fin are divided into a first louver group formed further upstream in a direction of flow of air than a drain slit in the corrugated fin and a second louver group formed further downstream in the direction of flow of air than the drain slit. Plate portions of the first louver group and plate portions of the second louver group are inclined to a flat-plate portion in the fin sections and inclined in respective directions that are opposite to each other. The drain slit includes a plurality of drain slits provided in a plurality of respective rows between the first louver group and the second louver group.

  • Publication number: 20240159474
    Abstract: A heat exchanger includes a plurality of flat heat-transfer tubes and a corrugated fin placed between the plurality of flat heat-transfer tubes. Louvers in fin sections of the corrugated fin are divided into a first louver group formed further upstream in a direction of flow of air than a drain slit in the corrugated fin and a second louver group formed further downstream in the direction of flow of air than the drain slit. Plate portions of the first louver group and plate portions of the second louver group are inclined to a flat-plate portion in the fin sections and inclined in respective directions that are opposite to each other. The drain slit includes a plurality of drain slits formed between the first louver group and the second louver group at an interval in the direction of flow of air.

  • Patent number: 11983863
    Abstract: An alpha channel is added in addition to multiple channels forming an image of an item. A second pixel value differing from a first pixel value, which is assigned to a defect-free region, is assigned to a region corresponding to a defect region in the alpha channel. The image including the alpha channel is divided into multiple image segments. A defect label is assigned to the image segment in which the second pixel value is included in the alpha channel, and a non-defect label is assigned to the image segment, in which the second pixel value is not included in the alpha channel. The alpha channel is removed from the image segments to generate labeled image segment data.
