Certainly, a number of the heat exchange tube groups 10 can be increased or decreased according to the requirements, and a connection mode thereof can also be changed accordingly according to the requirements.

As shown in FIG. 1 to FIG. 3, at least two adapters 21 are respectively connected with the mutually close ends of the two heat exchange tube groups 10 communicated the intermediate adapter portion 20; and the adapter tube 22 is bent, two ends of the adapter tube 22 are respectively connected with the two adapters 21, and the adapters 21 are conducted, so that the two heat exchange tube groups 10 communicated by the intermediate adapter portion 20 have the A-type structure.

Specifically, this embodiment is provided with two adapters 21, one of the adapters 21 is connected with the first heat exchange tube group 11 and the fourth heat exchange tube group 14, and the other adapter 21 is connected with the second heat exchange tube group 12 and the third heat exchange tube group 13.

In other words, some of the heat exchange tubes in the first heat exchange tube group 11 are communicated with the same adapter cavity, as to achieve the mutual communication through the adapter cavity on the adapter 21. Between two heat exchange tube groups 10 which are superposed, namely the heat exchange tubes in the first heat exchange tube group 11 and the heat exchange tubes in the fourth heat exchange tube group 14 can not be communicated with the same adapter cavity. In this way, the medium flows through the second heat exchange tube group 12 and the third heat exchange tube group 13, and do not flow directly from the first heat exchange tube group 11 to the fourth heat exchange tube group 14, as to guarantee the heat exchange effect of the heat exchanger.
