Abstract:
A stacking-type header according to the present invention includes: a first plate-shaped unit; and a second plate-shaped unit stacked on the first plate-shaped unit, and having a distribution flow passage, in which the distribution flow passage includes a branching flow passage including: a first flow passage; and a second flow passage, and in which the branching flow passage is smaller in difference in flow resistance between the first flow passage and the second flow passage than a branching flow passage in a state in which a flow-passage resistance in the first flow passage and a flow-passage resistance in the second flow passage are equal to each other, and in a state in which the first flow passage and the second flow passage are point symmetric with each other about the opening port.

Claim (Index 26):
A stacking-type header, comprising:\n a first plate-shaped unit having a plurality of first outlet flow passages formed therein; and a second plate-shaped unit being stacked on the first plate-shaped unit and having a first inlet flow passage formed therein and a distribution flow passage formed therein, the distribution flow passage being configured to distribute refrigerant, which passes through the first inlet flow passage to flow into the second plate-shaped unit, to the plurality of first outlet flow passages to cause the refrigerant to flow out from the second plate-shaped unit, wherein the distribution flow passage comprises a branching flow passage comprising:\n an opening port configured to allow the refrigerant to flow thereinto; \n a first flow passage communicating between the opening port and an end portion positioned on an upper side relative to the opening port; and \n a second flow passage communicating between the opening port and an end portion positioned on a lower side relative to the opening port, \n wherein a flow-passage resistance in the second flow passage is larger than a flow-passage resistance in the first flow passage, and wherein a width of the second flow passage is smaller than a width of the first flow passage.
