Abstract
An evaporator comprises: a housing with a refrigerant inlet and a refrigerant outlet; heat transfer tubes that are contained in the housing, in which chilled water for heat exchange with refrigerant inside the housing flows; at least one distribution tray that is placed apart from the heat transfer tubes and has a plurality of holes for distributing refrigerant over the underlying heat transfer tubes; and a tube support with a plurality of holes for passing the heat transfer tubes through, that is placed inside the housing and supports the distribution tray. Through the present disclosure, it is possible to achieve stable heat exchange performance by placing the distribution tray horizontal and stable.
