The utility model provides a
barrel type
evaporator which comprises an outer layer
barrel wall, an inner layer
barrel wall, a first end wall, a second end wall, a
refrigerant inlet
pipe and a
refrigerant outlet
pipe, the outer layer barrel wall surrounds the outer side of the inner layer barrel wall, and the first end wall is connected with one end of the outer layer barrel wall and one end of the inner layer barrel wall in a sealed mode. The second end wall is connected with the other end of the outer-layer barrel wall and the other end of the inner-layer barrel wall in a sealed mode, an
evaporation cavity is formed between the outer-layer barrel wall and the inner-layer barrel wall, one end of the
evaporation cavity is communicated with at least one
refrigerant inlet
pipe, and the other end of the
evaporation cavity is communicated with at least one refrigerant outlet pipe. An axial through hole is formed in the inner side of the inner-layer barrel wall, a communicating hole is formed in the first end wall and / or the second end wall, and the axial through hole is communicated with the outside through the communicating hole. According to the barrel type
evaporator, an evaporation pipe formed by a
metal spiral pipe is omitted, the external heat exchange area of the
evaporator is increased, the cold conduction efficiency is high, the complexity of the production process can be reduced, and the production cost is reduced.
