Abstract: An evaporator (10), e.g. in a domestic refrigerator, for refrigerating air in a space for goods, which space is confined against ambient atmosphere (14) by a wall (16), is constituted by a tubular element (18), through which a refrigerant flows from a capillary pipe (20), which is connected to the element at a joint (28) at one end of the element. The element (18) comprises an inner tube (24), through which the refrigerant flows, outside which inner tube an outer tube (26) is arranged, the outer tube (26) extending through the wall (16) and the joint (28) being arranged between the capillary pipe (20) and the inner tube (24) inside the wall (16) in a chamber (38) formed in the outer tube (26). A sealing means (36) arranged between the capillary tube (26) prevents humidity of the ambient atmosphere (14) from forcing its way into the chamber (38).

Abstract: An evaporator (10) having an electric heating cable (20) for defrosting the evaporator comprises a tubular element (12), through which a refrigerant flows. The element (12) is constituted by an inner pipe (16) and an outer pipe (22) arranged on the outside of the inner pipe. The heating cable (20) is arranged between the pipes (16, 22) in a groove (18) arranged on the outside of the inner pipe (16).
