A heat exchanging tube is provided with a flat tube main body having a
predetermined length and a plurality of refrigerant passages extending in
a tube longitudinal direction and arranged in a tube widthwise direction.
The following relational equations (a) to (c) are satisfied: W=6 to 18 mm
. . . (a); Ac/At.times.100=50 to 70% . . . (b) and P/L.times.100=350 to
450% . . . (c), where "W" is a width of the tube main body, "Ac" is a
total cross-sectional area of the refrigerant passages, "At" is a total
cross-sectional area of the tube main body ( including the refrigerant
passages), "L" is an external perimeter of the tube main body and "P" is
a total inner perimeter of the refrigerant passages. With this tube,
enough pressure strength can be obtained and the passage resistance can
be decreased while keeping the light weight, and further the heat
exchanging performance can be improved.
