FALLING FILM EVAPORATOR HAVING TWO-PHASE REFRIGERANT DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM

摘要

Efficient two-phase refrigerant mixture distribution is accomplished in a falling film evaporator (20) by use of a refrigerant distributor (50) dispos ed internal of the evaporator shell (32) which overlies the evaporator tube bundle (52) and which internally causes said two-phase refrigerant mixture t o be made available along essentially the entire length and across essentially the entire width of the tube bundle (52) prior to the delivery of the refrigerant out of the distributor (50).
