Abstract
A refrigerator evaporator is formed in a spread serpentine configuration having a plurality of straight tube segments and a plurality of bent tube segments where each one of the straight tube segments is joined at an acute angle to at least one other straight tube segment. The straight tube segments are arranged in a number of planar rows which are adjacent and parallel to one another. Approximately 25-50 percent of the cross-sectional area of the evaporator is not occupied by tubing or any attached fins. A cross flow blower disposed at one end of the evaporator draws air longitudinally over the evaporator.
