AI Technical Summary
The existing heat exchanger design leaves a narrow gap between the tip end portion of the raised portion and the adjacent fin, leading to accumulation of condensed water, which increases air flow resistance and scatter of water with air flow.
The heat exchanger design incorporates first and second protruding tabs on the fins, where the first tab contacts the adjacent fin to maintain interval, and the second tab is shorter, reducing the collection of condensed water in gaps.
The design effectively reduces the amount of condensed water collected, minimizing air flow resistance and water scatter, while maintaining fin interval and reducing tube insertion difficulty.
