A heat exchanger includes: flat pipes disposed in multiple stages in a stage direction corresponding to an up-down direction; and fins that partition a space between adjacent two of the flat pipes into air flow passages through which air flows. Each of the flat pipes includes a passage for a refrigerant inside thereof. The flat pipes are divided into heat exchange paths arrayed in multiple stages in the stage direction. One of the heat exchange paths that includes a lowermost one of the flat pipes is defined as a first heat exchange path. A length of the passage from a first end to a second end of a flow of the refrigerant in each of the heat exchange paths is defined as a path effective length.

The air-conditioning apparatus includes a heat exchanger including a plurality of heat transfer tubes and a header manifold an axial fan and a refrigerant circuit. When the distance from the center of the flow space in the horizontal plane is represented on a scale of 0 to 100%, where 0% represents the center of the flow space and 100% is the position of the wall surface of the header manifold, among the plurality of branch tubes located within a height range that allows the blade to rotate, the majority of the branch tubes located at or below the height of the boss are connected to the header manifold such that their distal ends are positioned at 0 to 50% of the distance from the center, and the majority of the branch tubes located above the height of the boss are connected to the header manifold such that their distal ends are positioned at more than 50% of the distance from the center.

The present disclosure provides a micro-channel heat exchanger including two collecting pipes, and a plurality of flat pipes and two side plates that are arranged between the two collecting pipes, wherein the two side plates are located on two outer sides of the flat pipes and are defined as a first side plate and a second side plate respectively; fins are respectively arranged between the first side plate and the adjacent flat pipe and between the second side plate and the adjacent flat pipe; and the outer side of the first side plate and/or the second side plate is provided with a blocking part at a position close to the collecting pipe, and the blocking part can prevent composite material on the collecting pipe from flowing to a middle part of the first side plate and/or the second side plate.

A heat exchanger includes a casing configured to direct a working fluid therethrough, and at least one heat exchanger (HE) section in the casing. Each HE section includes a pair of spaced supports. The spaced supports include: an upstream support and a downstream support with at least one of them including a coolant carrying body configured to direct a coolant therethrough. A first cross-support couples to and extends between respective upstream and downstream supports; and at least one second cross-support couples to and extends between the respective upstream and downstream supports. Cross-supports are vertically distanced from adjacent cross-supports. A plurality of tube positioners coupled to each cross-support position a plurality of heat exchange tubes extending across a working fluid path through the casing. The tube positioners and the cooling of the cross-supports allows ferritic material to be used for once-through, duct-fired HRSGs.

A microtube heat exchanger is disclosed, including two end plates with an array of holes or openings and an array of microtubes disposed in the array of openings between the two end plates. The heat exchanger can be used in environmental control systems, including systems for aerospace applications.

A heat exchanger includes tubes arranged in a stacking direction and a tank connected to the tubes. A tube of the tubes has a pair of flat portions having flat plate shapes facing each other, and a curved portion connecting ends of the pair of flat portions. The tank includes a plate having insertion holes into which the tubes are inserted, and container. The plate has a first portion along a longitudinal direction of the tubes, and a second portion extending from an end of the first portion toward the container. When the plate is viewed in the stacking direction, a boundary between the first portion and the second portion is shifted from a boundary between each of the pair of flat portions and the curved portion toward the pair of flat portions.

A heat exchanger in which an end portion of a heat exchange element is appropriately joined to an insertion hole of a header. The heat exchanger includes a heat exchange element extending in a first direction and a header to which the heat exchange element is connected. The heat exchange element includes at least one heat transfer tube extending in the first direction and a fin provided on part of an edge portion of the at least one heat transfer tube in a second direction crossing orthogonally with the first direction. An end portion in the first direction of the heat exchange element includes an insertion part being inserted into an interior of the header, an abutment part abutting the header in a part other than the insertion part, and a spaced-apart part being spaced apart from the header in a part other than the insertion part.
