The invention discloses a bending type parallel flow heat exchanger, which comprises an upper end plate and a lower end plate; a plurality of parallel flat pipes are fixed between the upper end plate and the lower end plate; a plurality of parallel flow channels are arranged in the flat pipes; a refrigerant inlet and an upper drainage groove are arranged in the upper end plate, and a refrigerant outlet and a lower drainage groove are arranged in the lower end plate; and a refrigerant enters the upper drainage groove through the refrigerant inlet of the upper end plate, flows into the flat pipes, reaches the lower drainage groove in the lower end plate through the parallel flow channels in the flat pipes, then enters the flat pipes, flows to the upper end plate, reaches the upper drainage groove in the upper end plate, changes the direction, then enters the flat pipes, reaches the lower end plate and finally flows out of the refrigerant outlet of the lower end plate. The S-shaped parallel flow heat exchanger of the invention can replace a traditional parallel flow heat exchanger, the temperature difference between gas and the heat exchanger in the gas heat exchange process is more uniform, the overall performance of the heat exchanger can be effectively improved, and the heat exchange efficiency of the heat exchanger is greatly improved.
