In an evaporator 1, space between two heat transfer plates 2 opposite to each other serves as a liquid path 3, and the outsides of the heat transfer plates 2 serve as a gas path 4. At the lower end of the liquid path 3, a liquid inlet, through which liquid to be evaporated is supplied to the evaporator 1, is provided, and at the upper end of the liquid path 3, a vapor outlet is provided. The liquid to be evaporated vaporizes while flowing from bottom to top. The heating gas is supplied form a gas inlet 7, which is provided at the upper end of the evaporator, and discharged from a gas outlet 8, which is provided at the lower end of the evaporator. Size of space S of the liquid path 3 gradually increases from bottom to top in a gas-liquid two phase region 11.
