Abstract: A receiver-tank is provided with a vertical tank main body 140. An inlet 131 and an outlet 132 are provided in an inlet-and-outlet forming member 150 as a bottom wall of the tank main body 140. A desiccant-filled-layer 135 as a flow-resistance layer is provided in a lower part of the tank main body 140, and an upper space is formed above the desiccant-filled-layer 135. A suction pipe 133 is provided in the tank main body 140 with the lower end connected with the outlet 132 and the upper end opened toward the upper space. When the refrigerant introduced into the tank main body 140 from the inlet port 131 goes up through the desiccant-filled-layer 135, the flow velocity decreases, and liquid-stagnation R is quietly created bin the upper space. The liquefied refrigerant of this liquid-stagnation R flows out of the outlet 132 through the suction pipe 133. Thereby, the stable liquid refrigerant can be supplied.

Abstract: The condensing apparatus in a refrigeration cycle includes a condenser having a condensing portion and a receiver-dryer. The receiver-dryer includes a tank main body, a desiccant-filled-portion arranged so that an upper space is formed at an upper part in the tank main body, a refrigerant-introducing-passage for introducing the condensed refrigerant into the tank main body from the condenser, and a refrigerant-discharging-passage for discharging the liquefied refrigerant in the tank main portion. The refrigerant-introducing-passage has an outlet which opens toward an inner bottom of the tank main body. The refrigerant-discharging-passage penetrates the desiccant-filled-portion and has an inlet formed so as to open toward the upper space at an upper end of the desiccant-filled-portion and an outlet formed at a bottom portion of the tank main body.
