Abstract
A distributor includes: a fluid inlet; a plurality of fluid outlets; a distribution flow passage which causes the fluid inlet to communicate with the fluid outlets, and distributes fluid which flows into the distribution flow passage through the fluid inlet, among the fluid outlets; and a plurality of heat-transfer-tube insertion portions each formed to face an associated one of the fluid outlets, the heat-transfer-tube insertion portions allowing heat transfer tubes to be inserted therein. The heat transfer tubes are inserted in the heat-transfer-tube insertion portions such that an end portion of each of the heat transfer tuber is connected to the associated fluid outlet.
