Abstract
A receiver-tank for use in a refrigeration cycle of this invention is provided with a filtering layer formed so that an upper space is formed above the filtering layer in a tank main body . An upper end of a refrigerant outlet in a tank bottom wall is opened toward the upper space . The refrigerant flowed into the tank main body from the refrigerant inlet passes through the filtering layer upwardly, and forms liquid-stagnation R in the upper space . The liquefied refrigerant of liquid-stagnation R flows out of the refrigerant outlet . Thereby, only the stable liquefied refrigerant can be extracted more assuredly.
