<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a refrigeration cycle apparatus which improves efficiency of heat exchange in a heat exchanger. <P>SOLUTION: The refrigeration cycle apparatus includes: a compressor that compresses a refrigerant; a condenser that condenses the refrigerant compressed by the compressor; a decompression means that decompresses the refrigerant condensed by the condenser; an evaporator that evaporates the refrigerant decompressed by the decompression means; and a blowing means that performs blowing for the evaporator. In the refrigeration cycle apparatus, the evaporator includes a first pipe that causes the refrigerant to flow to the internal part, a second pipe that is arranged on the lower side than the first pipe and causes the refrigerant to flow to the internal part, and a heat transfer pipe that connects the first pipe and the second pipe to each other, a plurality of refrigerant channels are formed in the heat transfer pipe, the refrigerant from the first pipe is made to flow in from each flow-in part of the plurality of refrigerant channels, is caused to flow into the second pipe after flowing through each refrigerant channel and, therein, the height position of each flow-in part of the plurality of refrigerant channels is made higher toward the direction to the evaporator from the blowing means. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT |
