Abstract
The present invention relates to a flow balancer for an evaporator, comprising: a permeable assembly comprising at least one gas- and fluid-permeable plate and located above a heat exchange tube bundle of the evaporator; a sealing assembly disposed on a periphery of the permeable assembly and constructed to be nonpermeable to gas and fluid; and a mounting assembly constructed to support the permeable assembly and the sealing assembly. The present invention also relates to an evaporator comprising the flow balancer. The flow balancer of the present invention has the advantages of simple structure and convenient manufacturing and mounting, can balance the pressure distribution above the heat exchange tube bundle, and can achieve a more even distribution of the refrigerant liquid level in the length direction of the heat exchange tube bundle.
