1. A finned tube heat exchanger, comprising:
a plurality of tube arrays, each of which includes a plurality of heat transfer tubes, the plurality of heat transfer tubes included in each tube array each extending parallel to one another and being disposed at a predetermined pitch in a first direction that intersects a flow direction of heat exchanging air, wherein
in a second direction that intersects the first direction, any closest two of the plurality of tube arrays has a predetermined distance therebetween,
one closest two of the plurality of tube arrays in the second direction includes first and second tube arrays that respectively include a plurality of first heat transfer tubes and a plurality of second heat transfer tubes,
the plurality of first heat transfer tubes in the first tube array are respectively disposed in an offset manner in the first direction relative to the plurality of second heat transfer tubes in the second tube array such that when seen from the flow direction of the heat exchanging air, each first heat transfer tube is disposed closer to one of an adjacent two second heat transfer tubes that is closest to said each first heat transfer tube, than to the other one of the adjacent two second heat transfer tubes,
each first heat transfer tube is disposed at a reference position that is offset in the first direction by a half pitch of the predetermined pitch relative to a position of each second heat transfer tube, and
the first direction is inclined at a predetermined angle relative to a direction perpendicular to the flow direction of the heat exchanging air.
