Abstract
An evaporator () comprising: a casing (); a plurality of heat transfer tubes () which are immersed in a liquid refrigerant (RL) in a liquid-phase region (A) and in the interior of which a fluid having a higher temperature than that of the liquid refrigerant (RL) flows; and a demister () which is provided so as to cover from above the liquid surface (Ls) of the liquid refrigerant (RL) accommodated in the liquid-phase region (A), and which traps liquid droplets contained in evaporated gas refrigerant (RG). The demister () comprises inclined sections () which, when viewed in a cross section intersecting the axial line (O) of the heat transfer tubes (), separate from the liquid surface (Ls) toward the center portion of the casing () along the liquid surface (Ls).
