ABSTRACT:
An evaporator includes plural refrigerant flow members and corrugate fins disposed in corresponding air-passing clearances between the adjacent refrigerant flow members. Each refrigerant flow member includes plural flat tubes arranged in the front-rear direction. Each corrugate fin extends across all the flat tubes. A vertically extending drain portion is formed between the flat tubes adjacent each other in the front-rear direction. At each connection portion of the corrugate fin, a louver group including plural louvers inclining downward toward the front is provided to correspond to a front portion of each flat tube. At least the front-end louver of the louver group provided to correspond to the front portion of each flat tube except for the flat tube at the front end is located in the drain portion.
