Abstract

A heat exchanger (100) comprises: a first header tube (1) and two second header tubes (3); a first heat exchange tube (51) in fluid communication with one of the two second header tubes (3) and a second chamber (B) of the first header tube (1); a first runner tube (61) in fluid communication with the one of two second header tubes (3) and a first chamber (A) of the first header tube (1); a second heat exchange tube (52) in fluid communication with the other of the two second header tubes (3) and the first chamber (A) of the first header tube (1); and a second runner tube (62) in fluid communication with the other of the two second header tubes (3) and the second chamber (B) of the first header tube (1). The heat exchanger (100) bends at a first bending portion (71) between the other of the two second header tubes (3) and the first header tube (1), so as to enable the other of the two second header tubes (3) to be higher or lower than the first header tube (1).
