Zusammenfassung:An evaporator for an air conditioning system includes an inlet manifold, an outlet manifold and a plurality of refrigerant tubes. The refrigerant tubes hydraulically communicate with the inlet manifold and the outlet manifold for a refrigerant flow. The inlet manifold includes a distributor tube with a plurality of orifices for equally aliquoting two phase refrigerant inside the inlet manifold. A mandrel is provided inside the distributor tube and a portion of the distributor tube with the inserted mandrel is flattened and bent toward an inlet port of the distributor tube for fitting the distributor tube within the inlet manifold. The mandrel is inserted into the distributor tube for preventing the distributor tube from collapsing when the distributor tube is flattened and bent.
