FINGER-TYPE EVAPORATOR

摘要

One describes a finger-type evaporator (1) comprising a substantially cylindrical and elongate main duct (2), through which a flow of cooling fluid flows, and also comprises a plurality of fingers (3) or branches, arranged close to the side surface of the main duct (2) and being in fluid connection therewith. Besides, the evaporator (1 ) comprises flow-diversion elements (4) arranged on the central axles of each finger (3) responsible for directing the flow of cooling fluid of the main duct (2) into the fingers (3), providing equal amounts of fluid in all the fingers (3) associated to the duct (2) and, as a result, the same temperature and the same dimensions of ice pieces produced around the fingers (3).
