Abstract
A receiver-tank is provided with a vertical tank main body An inlet and an outlet are provided in an inlet-and-outlet forming member as a bottom wall of the tank main body A desiccant-filled-layer as a flow-resistance layer is provided in a lower part of the tank main body and an upper space is formed above the desiccant-filled-layer A suction pipe is provided in the tank main body with the lower end connected with the outlet and the upper end opened toward the upper space. When the refrigerant introduced into the tank main body from the inlet port goes up through the desiccant-filled-layer the flow velocity decreases, and liquid-stagnation R is quietly created bin the upper space. The liquefied refrigerant of this liquid-stagnation R flows out of the outlet through the suction pipe Thereby, the stable liquid refrigerant can be supplied.
