Abstract
An evaporator is used in an inclined state in which a first header tank is located on the lower side in relation to a second header tank. The leeward and windward header sections of the first header tank have compartments with which the furthest tube groups of leeward and windward tube rows communicate. The compartments are divided into upper and lower spaces by split flow control sections, and the upper and lower spaces communicate through refrigerant passage holes formed in the split flow control sections. The total cross sectional area of the refrigerant passage holes of the split flow control section of the compartment located on the lower side in the inclined state is smaller than the total cross sectional area of the refrigerant passage holes of the split flow control section of the compartment located on the upper side in the inclined state.
