In an application scenario, as shown in fig. 6, the heat exchange tube units 12 in a serpentine shape and arranged in parallel can be manufactured first, a welding process is not required between the tube sections, and then the second tube section 122 is twisted to deform the evaporator, so that other parts of the evaporator are correspondingly deformed, and the first tube section 121 and the third tube section 123 are staggered along the first direction x to form staggered arrangement; further, the first tube segment 121 and the third tube segment 123 in each second fin group are further adjusted in position, in which the first tube segment 121 near the second tube segment 122 and the third tube segment 123 near the second tube segment 122 are pressed to reduce the distance therebetween, so that the end of the first tube segment 121 connected with the second tube segment 122 is staggered with the other end of the first tube segment 121 in the air flow direction y, and the end of the third tube segment 123 connected with the second tube segment 122 is staggered with the other end of the third tube segment 123 in the air flow direction y, thereby further forming staggered arrangement.

The application further provides an evaporator of another embodiment, as shown in fig. 2, and fig. 2 is a schematic structural diagram of an embodiment of the evaporator of the application. The difference between this embodiment and the embodiment of fig. 1 is that the first opening 21 between the two first tube holes is circular; the second opening 22 between the two second tube holes is circular.

The present application further proposes a first fin of another embodiment, as shown in fig. 3, and fig. 3 is a schematic structural view of another embodiment of the first fin of the present application. This embodiment differs from the embodiment of fig. 1 in that the first fin 111 further includes: the first heat dissipation portion 31 is connected to an end of the first opening 16, and is disposed at an angle with respect to a radial direction of the first opening 16.

Alternatively, the first heat dissipating portion 31 extends along a first plane, which is a perpendicular plane to the airflow direction y or a plane disposed at an angle to the perpendicular plane.
The above manner can enable the airflow to flow towards the first heat dissipation part 31, so that the airflow speed can be reduced, thereby enabling the heat dissipation part to exchange heat with the airflow better and improving the heat exchange efficiency.

Further, since the second heat dissipation portion 41 is connected to the end of the second opening 17 and is disposed at an angle with the radial direction of the second opening 17, the second heat dissipation portion 41 is a portion not attached to the second opening 17 and the second fins 112, and in this way, the heat dissipation area of the second fins 112 can be increased, and the heat exchange efficiency can be improved;
optionally, the second heat dissipating portion 41 extends along a first plane, where the first plane is a perpendicular plane to the airflow direction y or a plane disposed at an angle to the perpendicular plane.
The above manner can enable the airflow to flow towards the second heat dissipation portion 41, so that the airflow speed can be reduced, thereby enabling the heat dissipation portion to exchange heat with the airflow better and improving the heat exchange efficiency.
