An evaporator includes two header tanks and a plurality of heat exchange tubes disposed therebetween. The interior of a refrigerant inlet header section of the first header tank is divided into two spaces by a first flow diverging plate. The heat-exchange-tube-side space of the refrigerant inlet header section is divided into a plurality of sections by a first partition plate. Flow diverging openings are provided in portions of the first flow diverging plate facing the sections. The interiors of first and second intermediate header sections of the second header tank are each divided into sections, equal in number to those of the refrigerant inlet header section. The heat exchange tubes communicating with the sections of the refrigerant inlet header section communicate with the sections of the first intermediate header section, and the sections of the first intermediate header section communicate with the corresponding sections of the second intermediate header section.
