To provide a condenser which is capable of expanding the car width dimension of a cooling core so as to enhance a cooling effect and enhancing a sub-cooling effect of liquid phase refrigerants.
A cooling pipe 5a in the lowermost stage out of a plurality of cooling pipes 5a to 5e provided in multistages of a condenser 1 is communicated with a lower side area of a liquid-receiving area 12 provided in a refrigerant outlet 14 of the other header pipe 2, thereby constituting a sub-cooling pipe 16. The liquid phase refrigerants stored in the liquid-receiving area 12 is arranged to be distributed in the sub-cooling pipe on the lowermost stage having a large open air conducting distribution, thereby enhancing the effect of sub- cooling so that the air may be introduced outside a condenser 1 by way of the sub-cooking pipe 16. This construction makes it possible to eliminate the need for a suction tube on the liquid-receiving area 12 and minimize the size of a header pipe 3 and expand the car width direction of a cooling core 4.
