Patent attributes
A heat exchanger includes a heat exchange portion including a plurality of plate-shaped fins and a plurality of heat transfer pipes, the plate-shaped fins being spaced from each other and parallel to each other, the heat transfer pipes intersecting the plate-shaped fins, a header pipe which supplies refrigerant to the heat exchange portion, and a plurality of pass pipes connected between the heat exchange portion and the header pipe. The plurality of pass pipes include at least one pass pipe including a first straight pipe part extending in a direction away from the header pipe, a first bent pipe part extending from the first straight pipe part, a second straight pipe part extending in a direction away from a pipe junction which at which the heat exchange portion and the second straight pipe are connected to each other, a second bent pipe part extending from the second straight pipe part, and a third straight pipe part extending between the first bent pipe part and the second bent pipe part. The first bent pipe part has a bending angle of less than 90 degrees. A refrigeration cycle apparatus includes the above heat exchanger.
