    摘要: A flat heat transfer tube in an outdoor heat exchanger includes a main body and a connecting portion. The flat heat transfer tube has a plurality of flow paths spaced from each other. The flat heat transfer tube has a first side portion and a second side portion spaced from each other by a width. The connecting portion connected to an opening of a header has an opening end face in which each of the flow paths opens. In the connecting portion, the first side portion is tapered toward the opening end face to be reduced in width. A first opening end of a first flow path located closest to the first side portion has a second flow path cross-sectional area smaller than a first flow path cross-sectional area of an opening end of each of other flow paths.

    摘要: An object is to provide a heat exchanger, a heat exchanger unit, and a refrigeration cycle apparatus in which frost melt water is inhibited from reaching an upper surface of a header and the heat exchange performance and the reliability are improved. The invention includes: a plurality of heat transfer tubes arranged in parallel with each other; a fin connected to at least one of the plurality of heat transfer tubes; and a header having a header end surface being a surface along a direction in which the plurality of heat transfer tubes are arranged in parallel with each other, the header being connected to one end portions of the plurality of heat transfer tubes. The fin has a first portion including an edge facing the header and a second portion other than the first portion, the fin extending in a first direction crossing the direction in which the plurality of heat transfer tubes are arranged in parallel with each other, the first direction being perpendicular to a longitudinal tube axis of each of the plurality of heat transfer tubes. An end portion in the first direction of the first portion projects in the first direction relative to the header end surface, and an end portion in the first direction of the second portion is positioned closer in the first direction to the plurality of heat transfer tubes than the header end surface is.

    摘要: An object is to provide a refrigeration cycle apparatus capable of reducing freezing in a lower part of a heat exchanger in which drainage water tends to accumulate and reducing an amount of refrigerant in a refrigerant circuit. The refrigeration cycle apparatus includes the refrigerant circuit 1 connecting, by refrigerant pipes, a compressor, a first expansion device, and a first heat exchanger configured to serve as evaporator during heating operation. The first heat exchanger is provided with a first heat exchange unit and a second heat exchange unit connected to the first heat exchange unit in series in the refrigerant circuit. The first expansion device is connected in parallel with the second heat exchange unit in the refrigerant circuit, and the second heat exchange unit is placed at a position lower than a position of the first heat exchange unit.

    摘要: An outdoor unit for an air-conditioning apparatus is configured to suppress damage on hairpin portions at an end portion of an outdoor heat exchanger due to freezing. The outdoor unit includes: an air passage defined inside a casing; an outdoor heat exchanger, which is installed in the air passage, and includes a plurality of heat exchange portions; an outdoor unit fan configured to introduce air into the outdoor heat exchanger; and an air passage blocking object installed in the air passage, and configured to block air flow. The outdoor heat exchanger includes: a heat transfer tube configured to allow refrigerant to pass therein; and a fin connected to the heat transfer tube. The heat transfer tube includes a hairpin portion, which is bent and folded back and to which no fin is connected. The air passage blocking object is configured to cover the hairpin portion.
