The punching creates on the side facing away from the distributor plate in each case a protruding collar 1009b (see side view of the distributor plate in Fig. 22), by means of which the supply line 1001, i. the injection tube, the drain 1002, i. the suction tube, and the overflow 1005 are particularly easy to attach.
  • the tubular lines 1001, 1002 and 1005 are each provided with bores which correspond to the above-described passages 1009a of the injection plate 1009. In the course of assembly of the evaporator, the lines are thus attached to the collar 1009b and soldered cold-resistant, whereby at the same time a mechanically secure connection between the collection box and pipes is made.
  • the distances of the farthest holes result in an effective length of the respective lines 1001, 1002 and 1005.
  • An effective in terms of heat exchange evaporator length is meaningful defined as the largest distance between two flow paths in the width direction of the evaporator. It follows that in the present embodiment, the effective length of the feed line 1001 is less than 40% of the effective evaporator width.
  • the evaporator works as follows:
  • a high-pressure liquid consisting of liquid and gaseous phase refrigerant is supplied to the evaporator (in the present case carbon dioxide, ie R744).
  • the refrigerant enters through the passages 1009a or holes of the feed line 1001 into a first group of eight flow paths. There is in the H-shaped openings a transfer to the eight corresponding, opposite flow paths, each one first and one subsequent continuous flow path to the same flat pipe belong (“transfer to the depth"). After passing sixteen of the evaporator's total of forty flow paths, the refrigerant enters the transfer tube 1005 through somewhat larger holes. These sixteen first flow paths, which correspond to the first eight flat tubes from the right according to FIG. 15, are thus grouped into a first section.
  • the overflow pipe 1005 has the function of an intermediate collector, so that the refrigerant of the different flow paths is remixed. At the same time, according to FIG. 15, it flows to the left, wherein the flow velocity with respect to the supply line 1001 has already increased significantly.
  • the remaining twelve flat tubes form a second group or a second section of a total of twenty-four flow paths 1006.
  • the inlet from the overflow pipe 1005 into the first twelve flow paths of the second section and then into the second twelve flow paths of the second section by means of the H-shaped openings of the distributor plate.
  • the higher number of flow paths of the second section is accommodated in the overflow tube 1005 in that the diameter of the passages 1009a of the second section is smaller than the diameter of the eight passages of the first section.
  • substantially vaporized and expanded refrigerant from a particularly large twelve passages enters the discharge line 1002, in order to be supplied from there to the further refrigeration cycle.
  • the flat tubes 1006 are surrounded by air, which is subsequently used for air conditioning of a vehicle interior.
  • FIGS. 26 and 27 differs from the previous exemplary embodiment only in the design of the passages 1009a 'and their corresponding bores in the lines 1001, 1002 and 1005, as well as in the shape of the distributor plate 1008'.
  • some of the openings 1009a ' are each formed so that two flow paths 1006a are directly charged with refrigerant by a single bore.
  • two flow paths per section of the evaporator are flowed through, for which H-shaped openings 1008a 'are also responsible for the transition between the flow paths.
  • a sleeve is provided in each of the lines 1001, 1002 and 1005, which changes the free flow cross section corresponding to the flow path and increases the flow velocity in comparison with a tube without sleeve, in particular without changing the free flow cross section over the length. so that a very uniform temperature distribution over the entire evaporator width is possible.
