Abstract

An evaporator for a refrigerant system having a heat exchanging section and a evaporating section of a total flow type having a bottom inlet tank for receiving a refrigerant from the heat exchanging section, a bottom outlet tank for a discharge of the refrigerant and a stack of flatten pipes, each defining a refrigerant passageway of U-shape connecting the bottom inlet tank and bottom outlet tank. The heat exchanging section controls the degree of the dryness of the refrigerant in a range between 0.01 to 0.2. The flattened pipe has an inner thickness in a direction of the stack in a range between 2.0 to 3.0 mm.
