Abstract

A distributor (12) for an evaporator (22) in a vapor-compression circuit (10) comprises an elongate body (50A, 50B) defining an inlet portion (56A) and first and second distal ends (58A, 58B). The body (50A) being positionable along an interior sidewall (42) of the evaporator (22). The inlet portion (56A) positionable opposite an inlet port (38) of the evaporator (22) such that refrigerant entering the evaporator (22) engages the inlet portion (56A) of the distributor (12). The first and second distal ends (58A, 58B) extending outwardly towards opposing side ends (34A, 34B) of the evaporator (22). The elongate body (50A, 50B) cooperates with the sidewall (42) of the evaporator (22) to define a channel (49) having a generally uniform cross-sectional area extending from the first distal end (58A) to the second distal end (58B) such that refrigerant entering the channel (49) near the inlet portion (56A) is initially substantially contained between the sidewall (42) of the evaporator (22) and the elongate body (50A, 5OB). The elongate body (5OA, 50B) defining discharge ports (6OA, 6OB) to disperse refrigerant from the channel (49) into the evaporator (22).
