Abstract
An air conditioner is provided. The air conditioner may include a compressor, a condenser, an expansion device and an evaporator. The condenser or the evaporator may include a heat exchange tube formed of an aluminum material and allowing refrigerant to flow therein, and a fin connected to the heat exchange tube, the fin being formed of the same metal material as that of the heat exchange tube so as to prevent potential corrosion of the heat exchange tube.
