Original Abstract Submitted
a refrigeration cycle apparatus includes a refrigerant circuit and a non-azeotropic refrigerant that flows through a refrigerant pipe. when the non-azeotropic refrigerant passes through an outdoor heat exchanger, a temperature difference occurs between an inlet and an outlet of the outdoor heat exchanger. the outdoor heat exchanger includes: a group of fins that are stacked at intervals; and a heat transfer tube that extends through the group of fins in a stacking direction of the group of fins and allows the non-azeotropic refrigerant to flow inside the heat transfer tube. the group of fins includes: a first fin part to which frost can adhere in a humid environment; and a second fin part to which no frost adheres to ensure ventilation.
