Abstract
A condenser includes a refrigerant inlet, a refrigerant outlet, a core portion having a refrigerant passage for introducing refrigerant from the refrigerant inlet to the refrigerant outlet while condensing the refrigerant, and decompressing means provided at a part of the refrigerant passage, the decompressing means decompressing a refrigerant pressure. The refrigerant passage located at an upstream side of the decompressing means condensates at least a part of high-pressure gaseous refrigerant into a liquified refrigerant. The decompressing means decompresses the liquified refrigerant into a low-pressure gaseous refrigerant. The refrigerant passage located at a downstream side of the decompressing means re-condensates the low-pressure gaseous refrigerant.
