  • the invention relates to an evaporator device comprising at least one liquid reservoir and at least two evaporator tubes connected in parallel.
  • the evaporator device is intended in particular for use in refrigerating machines, which preferably directly cool a gas-filled space.
  • tube or tube bundle heat exchangers or plate heat exchangers are typically used in compression refrigeration.
  • Plate heat exchangers are usually designed as flooded evaporator, in which move the vapor bubbles by their buoyancy and usually supported by a forced flow through the heat exchanger.
  • Chillers with flooded evaporator usually have on the low-pressure side a container in which liquid refrigerant with a gas or vapor superposition is maintained under saturated steam conditions. The pressure in this container is typically maintained at a certain value, which is determined by the required temperatures in the space to be cooled.
  • the refrigerant is usually trickled from outside onto a pipe with the aid of a feed system or they are also designed as flooded evaporators.
  • Tube heat exchangers are also known in which the refrigerant evaporates in a horizontal or nearly horizontal or slightly inclined tube within a forced flow, wherein the tube heat exchangers can be formed from a plurality of juxtaposed, connected and serially flowed through tubes.
