COOLANT DISTRIBUTOR, AND AIR CONDITIONER USING IT

摘要

A coolant distributor (6a) whose passage where coolant flows in from one end and flows out from the other is formed by a pair of plate members comprises an inlet branching section (7b) for branching the part where the coolant flows in into a plurality of parts; a confluent section (7c) for bringing together the coolant branched by the inlet branching section (7c); and an outlet branching section (7d) for branching the coolant brought together by the confluent section (7c) and letting it out. Thereby are provided a distributor achieving improvement of uneven distribution of coolant in a wide range of conditions of use unaffected by the type of coolant and the state of installation while keeping the pressure loss low, and an air conditioner using it, which can be operated at high efficiency and uses a smaller volume of coolant.
