Abstract

The present invention discloses a novel micro-channel heat exchanger, comprising header pipes, a plurality of first flat pipes and fins, and further comprising a bending region formed by bending the header pipes, wherein second flat pipes and a bending assembly are provided in the bending region, the second flat pipes are connected between adjacent header pipes, the bending assembly is distributed between adjacent second flat pipes, and air is capable of passing through the bending assembly to circulate. On the premise that the performance of the heat exchanger is guaranteed, the present invention well solves the problem of fin deformation caused when the heat exchanger is bent along a length direction of the header pipes.
