Abstract
An evaporator for a refrigerating system which prevents droplets of refrigerant from blowing upwards, and a refrigeration apparatus using thereof are provided. The evaporator for a refrigerating system includes a container into which the refrigerant is introduced, and heat exchanger tubes disposed in the container through which a cooled object flows. The evaporator further includes a prevention plate disposed above the heat exchanger tubes so that droplets of the refrigerant, which are blown upwards due to a boiling of the refrigerant, hit the prevention plate.
Claims12
An evaporator for a refrigerating system including a container into which a refrigerant is introduced, and heat exchanger tubes disposed in the container through which an object to be cooled down flows, comprising:
- a prevention plate disposed above said heat exchanger tubes so that droplets of the refrigerant, which are blown upwards due to boiling of the refrigerant, hit said prevention plate.
A refrigeration apparatus, comprising:
- a compressor for compressing a refrigerant;
- a condenser for condensing and liquefying the refrigerant which is compressed in said compressor;
- a throttling mechanism for the pressure of the liquefied refrigerant;
- and
- an evaporator for cooling down an object to be cooled by exchanging heat between the object to be cooled and a resultant condensed and pressure-reduced liquefied refrigerant, and evaporating and vaporizing the liquefied refrigerant, wherein said evaporator comprises:
- a container into which the refrigerant is introduced;
- heat exchanger tubes disposed in the container through which the object to be cooled down flows;
- and
- a prevention plate disposed above said heat exchanger tubes so that droplets of the refrigerant, which are blown upwards due to boiling of the refrigerant, hit said prevention plate.
