Abstract
A heat exchanger unit includes a heat exchanger main body in which a first heat exchanger and a second heat exchanger are arranged in series relative to a refrigerant flowing direction and an air flowing direction. The heat exchanger main body includes on one side thereof an external connection portion configured to supply at least refrigerant and on the other side thereof a communicating portion configured to connect (allowing fluid communication between) the first heat exchanger and the second heat exchanger. A bypass flow path extends from the one side to the other side of the heat exchanger main body, and is configured to bypass the first heat exchanger. At least one of the first heat exchanger and the second heat exchanger includes a pair of tank sections disposed at an interval, and a plurality of first heat transfer tubes configured to connect the pair of tank sections.
