Abstract
Waved uneven portions (112f, 122f) are formed on the protrusion portions (112e, 122e) of the fins (112, 122) protruded from an end of the tubes (111, 121) in the width direction of the tube without cutting part of the protrusion portions (112e, 122e) to increase the surface area of the fins (112, 122). As a result, the surface area of the protrusion portions (112e, 122e) may be increased without decreasing the thermal conductive area extending to the end of the protrusion portions (112e, 122e), and thereby a sufficient amount of heat may be conducted especially to the protrusion portions (112e, 122e), with decreasing airflow resistance, and an improvement in radiation ability appropriate to the increase of radiation area may, accordingly, be achieved.
