Original Abstract Submitted

A heat exchanger includes a plurality of refrigerant tubes through which refrigerant can flow; a plurality of collars surrounding at least a portion of an outer surface of each refrigerant tube; a plurality of heat dissipation fins connected to the plurality of collars; and an electrode in contact with each heat dissipation fin to transmit power to each heat dissipation fin. An electrical resistance of each collar is higher than an electrical resistance of each heat dissipation fin.
