Abstract
An evaporator has plural tubes arranged in parallel with each other in a width direction perpendicular to an air flowing direction. The tubes are further arranged in two rows in the air flowing direction, and tank portions extending in the width direction are also arranged in the two rows in the air flowing direction to correspond to the tubes. A refrigerant inlet and a refrigerant outlet are provided in the tank portions, respectively, at one side end in the width direction, so that refrigerant flows through all one-row tubes after passing through the other-row tubes. In the evaporator, throttle holes are provided in a distribution portion of the tank portions, for distributing refrigerant, so that a refrigerant distribution within the tubes can be arbitrarily set. Thus, air temperature blown out from the evaporator can be made uniform.
