ABSTRACT:
An evaporator includes a plurality of laminated tubes, each of which is provided therein with a refrigerant passage, an inlet header chamber which is in communication with one end of the refrigerant passage, and an outlet header chamber which is in communication with the other end of the refrigerant passage. The inlet header chamber is located above the refrigerant passage. The inlet header chamber is partitioned by a partition wall into an inner header chamber and an outer header chamber which is disposed around the inner header chamber and which is in communication with the refrigerant passage. The inner header chambers of the adjacent tubes are in communication with each other. An assembly of the inner header chambers forms a header inlet tank chamber. The partition wall is provided with refrigerant holes located above a lowermost point a of the inner header chamber and at different levels.
