Abstract

A multi-tube spraying device is provided. The multi-tube spraying device includes a body having a closed vessel, wherein a plurality of spraying tubes are disposed in the upper part of the closed vessel and a plurality of heat exchanging tubes are disposed in the lower part of the closed vessel. The device further includes an outlet pipe for discharging refrigerant vapor contained therein and a connecting pipe for introducing the refrigerant vapor from a source to the vessel. In addition, a liquid-vapor separator connected to the refrigerant source separates the refrigerant into vapor and liquid for introducing the liquid refrigerant to the spraying tubes in the vessel while introducing the refrigerant vapor into the vessel. Therefore, a heat exchange is performed between the refrigerant and the heat exchanging tubes.
