Japanese term or phrase: fine size

This is a term that is obviously translated from Japanese

Context "Heat exchanger fine size and pitch have been changed, raising energy efficiency."

The text concerns (Mitsubishi) air conditioners and heat exchangers.

You can find a wider context e.g. here:

I guess that 'fine size' refers to the "detailed structure" of the heat exchanger, but I would like somebody knowing Japanese to find out what is actually said in Japanese original texts that most probably are findable in the Internet.

I don't know Japanese at all. I am just translating from English into Finnish.

English translation:fin size / size of fin

Explanation:
Hi, Timo. I've done a few air conditioner translations.

The following websites and sample sentences may help.

http://www.faqs.org/patents/app/20080282725

Re-designing the fins to a straight shape has reduced the pressure loss of the air flow in the heat exchanger. A new surface treatment on the fins has enhanced the frost resistance. A high speed fan motor has increased the airflow which allows cooling capacity to be maintained even at high outdoor air temperatures.

This is as a result of the multi-angled heat exchanger having a modified fin shape that reduces air resistance, producing a smoother, quieter flow of air.

Thanks Joyce. I am just wondering why didn't I spot the typo. One reason might be that I am not native English, second reason might be that 'fine size' seems correct, you just try to find out what is of fine size there.
