Abstract

Disclosed are a fin (1) for a heat exchanger, and a heat exchanger having the fin (1). The fin (1) comprises a fin body (10) in a waveform structure formed by boards, wherein the fin body (10) has two first side surfaces (11) which are opposite one another in a first direction, two second side surfaces (12) which are opposite one another in a second direction, and wave crests and wave troughs, which are on the second side surfaces (12); and the first direction and the second direction intersect. The fin body (10) comprises: a first concave portion (13), wherein the first concave portion (13) is formed in the fin body (10), and is located on the two first side surfaces (11) of the fin body (10). The fin (1) and the heat exchanger are manufactured more simply. Since the connection portions between the wave crests and wave troughs of the fin (1) are approximately perpendicular to a heat exchange tube (2), the condensed water is more easily discharged.
