Abstract
A flow merging and dividing device, wherein two refrigerant flows move from two inlets ( ) located at an inlet part ( ) into a merging part ( ) for merging, the drift of the two refrigerant flows is eliminated by the merging of the flows at the merging part ( ), and the refrigerant flows in which the drift is eliminated by the merging of the flows at the merging part ( ) flows out from three outlets ( ) located at an outlet part ( ), whereby two refrigerant flows can be discharged as three refrigerant flows again from the three outlets ( ) after two refrigerant flows are merged so as to eliminate the drift of the two refrigerant flows.
