Abstract

To further promote the mutual integration between individual constituting parts of a refrigerant distributor so that collision sounds between the parts are prevented from being generated. An orifice member (10A) is firmly fixed to and unified with a fine particle conversion means (12A) of a refrigerant distributor (4A), and the orifice member (10A) unified with the fine particle conversion means (12A) is firmly fixed to and unified with a distributor refrigerant-pipe (7a). With this arrangement, individual parts constituting the refrigerant distributor (4A) are solidly unified at a plurality of steps taken toward a complete unit of the distributor.
