Abstract
A cylindrical expansion valve is mounted in a tank portion of a laminate type evaporator formed by alternately laminating flat sheet tubes and heat transfer fins. With this arrangement, the structure of the evaporator is made compact as a whole, and a conventional piping work for connecting the evaporator body with a thermo-sensing cylinder is eliminated, thereby rendering the assembling operation easy.
