The
refrigerant distributor disclosed herein comprises: an outer tube in which
refrigerant flows, and a plurality of heat-conducting tubes connected to the outer tube at predetermined intervals; an inner tube in which
refrigerant flows, the inner tube being housed within the outer tube, and having a refrigerant outlet orifice for allowing the refrigerant flowing inside the inner tube to flow to the outer tube; and a structural section disposed on the inner tube or the outer tube, allowing refrigerant to flow into the inner tube. In the structural section, the refrigerant is in a state where a gas-liquid two-phase flow has not yet developed. The refrigerant outlet orifice is configured such that the angle θ from the lower end of the inner tube on a vertical line passing through the center of the inner tube to the location of the refrigerant outlet orifice, when viewed from the center of the inner tube, is set in the range of 10°≤θ≤80°. In the vertical cross-section of the inner tube at the location where the refrigerant outlet orifice is provided, there is only one refrigerant outlet orifice.
