Evaporators in automotive air conditioning are designed as compact heat exchangers with the aim to cool outside air for the widest possible range of weather conditions. Under low operating loads a non-uniformity of the refrigerant liquid and gas phase distribution from the evaporator headers towards the evaporating channels leads to a decrease of the evaporator efficiency and a temperature stratification in the exit stream of cooled air. This malfunction is investigated by numerical simulations and analyses with the Computational Multi-Fluid Dynamic code. The applied numerical approach is validated for available experimental conditions. In order to eliminate the air exit temperature stratification, numerical experiments are performed with design changes of the evaporator header and the effectiveness of applied measures is demonstrated.
