The present invention relates to a heat exchanger tube, in which
turbulence generating portions placed within a passage of the tube are
rounded into curved configurations with predetermined curvatures so that
they are hardly damaged or fractured during extrusion to improve
machinability and product quality, in which upper and lower circular
passages formed in upper and lower sides of a tube body are connected via
a connecting passage having the turbulence generating portions so that
more passages having a smaller hydraulic diameter can be formed in the
tube of the same size without unnecessary waste of tube material, and in
which the turbulence generating portions are arranged in a lateral
direction (Z-axial direction) of the tube body so that the passage is not
filled with condensate films even though a large quantity of condensate
is produced to reduce the thickness of the condensate films or break the
condensate films to promote refrigerant to be converted into turbulent
flow, thereby improving heat transfer ability.
