<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an evaporator which can reduce flow sound of a refrigerant. <P>SOLUTION: A plurality of segment groups each comprising two segments arranged in a ventilation direction are disposed on upper and lower sides of heat exchange tubes 9 in the evaporator 1. A communication path 32 communicating two segments 17, 23 arranged in the ventilation direction in one segment group is formed between upper header parts 5, 6 on a leeward side and a windward side, respectively. In the two segments 17, 23 communicated by the communication path 32, a refrigerant flows from any one segment 17 of the two segments through the communication path 32 into the other segment 23. A rectifying member 34 for rectifying a flow of the refrigerant that has passed through the communication path 32 is disposed in the segment 23 on the side, on which the refrigerant flows in, of the two segments 17, 23 communicated by the communication path 32. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT |
