Heat exchange device
A heat-exchange device comprises a first heat exchanger defining an upper end and a lower end. A second heat exchanger defines an upper end connected to the upper end of the first heat exchanger and a lower end spaced apart from the lower end of the first heat exchanger in a substantially longitudinal direction such that a predetermined angle between the first heat exchanger and second heat exchanger is between about 0 and 180°. A wind-guide member is disposed between the first heat exchanger and second heat exchanger for guiding wind toward the first heat exchanger and second heat exchanger.
