Abstract
An evaporator includes a housing having a first end longitudinally opposing a second end. The evaporator includes an inlet disposed on the housing and configured to receive a fluid. The evaporator also includes a tube bundle disposed in the housing and configured to evaporate the fluid to provide a vapor stream arranged to exit through an outlet on the housing. Additionally, the evaporator has a flow balancer provided between the tube bundle and the outlet on the housing, and the flow balancer is configured to balance refrigerant quality between the first end and the second end of the evaporator by controlling the vapor stream.
