Abstract

An evaporator includes an inlet in a lower manifold, an outlet in an upper manifold, and a multiport tube extending between the lower manifold and the upper manifold. The multiport tube provides a flow path between the lower manifold and the upper manifold. One of the outer side walls of the multiport tube is provided with a first evaporator section with a first heat receiving surface and a second evaporator section with a second heat receiving surface, the first and second evaporator sections passing a heat load received via the respective first and second heat receiving surfaces to a fluid in said multiport tube. The first and second heat receiving surfaces form an angle with each other to align with and contact different surfaces of an object to be cooled.
