HEAT EXCHANGER TUBE
First Claim
1. A heat exchanger tube comprising an Al alloy extruded tube, and a flux layer including a Si powder, a Zn-containing flux, and a binder formed on an outer surface of the Al alloy extruded tube,whereinan amount of the Si powder applied on the Al alloy extruded tube is in a range of 1 g/m2 or more and 5 g/m2 or less,an amount of the Zn containing flux applied on the Al alloy extruded tube is in a range of 3 g/m2 or more and 20 g/m2 or less, andthe Si powder has a particle diameter distribution such that 99% particle diameter (D99) is 5 μ
- m or more and 20 μ
m or less, and an amount of coarse particles having diameters of not smaller than 5 times (D99) is less than 1 ppm by volume,where (D99) denotes a critical diameter defined such that cumulative volume of particles not larger than (D99) constitute 99% by volume of all the particles.
